Although I have gladly given my services to two of my neighbors for their bikes. In return one traded me aged hemlock bark dust, and the other one surprised me with two packets of zip ties and a new plastic tool chest! How sweet. I told them I really didn't want anything, but they insisted.
The Raleigh Twenty is fine, although asked @
gugie if he'd make me a drop bolt for the rear brake and just haven't gotten around to taking the parts over. Thinking maybe to just have someone lower the rear plate instead. I like the bike because of its uniqueness but it does ride differently from other bikes I have. The NOS SA AW rear hub is the quickest most perfect shifting hub I've ever experienced in regard to a 3 speed.
Im here every day reading posts, but don't always have anything to add. Hope you all are well.
I'm away on my annual mid-life crisis bike trip next few weeks, but am willing and able to take a look at the Twenty after that. I have a Bike Friday, I know what you mean- they do ride differently. I've never overhauled my SACHS 3X7 system, I think we might have a trade-you show me how to disassemble and clean the thing, I make you a drop bolt or lower the rear plate-I'm sure we can come up with something. Heck, we could put cantilevers on it if you don't mind repainting!
