hi jerry! nice to hear from you and thanks for letting me know about the weight of the twenty. i have ordered a Dahon VSC P18
and its being customised for my long haul travels. it comes in at £827 with all the upgrades as i am getting a discount which is great. i can buy a raleigh twenty for around £50 in great condition would i spend over £700 refurbishing and upgrading. not sure if i would. as i only want to change the gearing , brooks saddle, new tyres and wheels and a back rack. maybe its worth me considering. But the new bike is amazing as well!! but i could maybe save a lot of money.
