My aunt gave me her old Raleigh 20 shortly before her death. I modified it by converting it to derailleurs gears with new wheels, an aluminum crankset, cantilever brakes, real front drop outs replacing the crimped fork ends, and a real headset instead of the thing with a plastic sleeve on top. It now rides better. I set it up for my wife, but she uses it with her sister when she comes to visit. My wife then rides my homemade folding bike, also with 20” 406 wheels. The Raleigh still needs a paint job.
