As has been said many times before, the original brakes on the Twenty are unconscionably bad. Think of alternatives for the front brake. I used a drum brake front hub. Also, the rims are super heavy, so aluminum rims will be a plus.
This machine is in very good condition- the seat looks new (and its not), all the chrome is excellent, etc. But I have to say I am really tempted to move to alloy rims. The drum brake is really tempting.
