The stowaway came as single speed, or with a two speed Duomatic hub, no cable to the back end, very clean looking. They ride and handle well, and good ones are in demand, fetching high prices. There is a lot of rubbish around though, the Duomatic hub is no longer avaialable, the connection point in the frame can be a problem, and tou need to make sure you get the key to undo it. The game with F Frame Mouldons, is much the same as with R20's, get rid of all the steel bits and replace with nice alloy parts. The one in the picture doesn't look that well kept, so i'd budget for a total re-build.
