I like the idea of the Raleigh Twenty (It's so hard to find a quality built bike these days!) but I sometimes worry about maintenance with such an old bike.
If you mod a R20, then all you really use is the frame and maybe the forks, so maintenance is not an issue. As I said earlier, if you use good quality comps like alloy rims, high end cranks etc, then you won't have too much trouble, you'll have an old classic bike with nice shiny bits.
Mulleady's suggestion of a Birdy is a good idea too if you want to buy "modern"
