Want 3 speed Mag wheels for your 20?
A pair of Raleigh Vektars on UK ebay for £150.

You 'gotta love the Raleigh Vektar - The Delorean of bikes lol!
[I didn't know they had an SA three speed in the back] 10 points to anyone that can repurpose all the electronic gizmos and do a neat retrofit onto a Twenty! |
Goshdarnit! This one went for £36! It ended 11 this morning - thought it was 11 tonight.

had 2 of them, at the same time
got one at an auction for £8 then got another in a part exchange for a mountain bike. they were good bikes. but sold them to a collector from near aberdeen. I got £20 each for them and my 2 RSWs. Theres a man on the Raleigh Grifter forum thats keen on them. The Mark2 Vektar had single speed |
That's worth knowing. I'm definitely on the lookout for one, purely for the wheels, and it would be devastating to end up with a SS.
|
Mad totally mad lol!
How big is your garage SB? |
Fairly big, but stuffed with bikes. I'll have to make some decisions at some point. The more projects I complete, the more of a worry it is that the bikes at the back can't be easily got out. Whilst they're "one day" projects, it doesn't matter, but once they become riders, I wanna ride them.

You will need a warehouse soon lol! :D
|
Notice there are no folders at all in that garage! I kept my R20 and the two cheapie folders I bought in Spain in my shed. Then they got stolen. Now there are approximately the same number of full size bikes in there (different ones, though), plus a Raleigh 20, a Downtube Mini and a Downtube IXFS. I hate to be bored.....
|
Lol!
So many bikes so little time.......... |
hey the silver anniversary chopper ....SE model
has cast mag wheels on a 3 speed hub Might have difficulty getting one at all and will be expensive |
I think that it's about time we set up a sticky 'Pics of your shed/basement/garage' thread to see the full horror of everyone's bikecaves... :)
|
I'd never kill a silver jubilee chopper fot its wheels, it's a thing of beauty. A Vektar, on the other hand, is an abomination.....
|
Look at this thing. You couldn't dismantle that, could you? And you'd never find a matching 20" front wheel even if you did.....

just make a cardboard cut out of a back wheel.
So it looks the same sitting on the mantlepeice. No ones likely to ride an SE much. So you could use the wheel on a more deserving bike |
