Speaking of Twenty's and longer rides. There were two of us at the 2009 ABCE in Minneapolis/St. Pauls a few weeks ago.

We did a ~40 mile ramble around the Twin Cities. One Twenty is my mildly modified one, the other was a pretty much OEM shaggy dog. It was a 1968 model and had painted fenders vs the chrome ones that they used later.

There were a couple of other Twenty's there but they weren't ridden on the longer ride. One was a coffee brown 1974 that was up for sale and the other a fixed frame "Shopper" with the 451 wheels.
