My Twenty conversion seems to have inspired a friend of mine, who now has her own Twenty. This one is Raleigh branded, with heron cut-outs in the chainwheel, a kickstand and a rear rack. The saddle and handlebar grips are white instead of black. the rear hub dates it from 1980.
It may be getting some upgrades/restoration, I will keep the updates coming. I also spotted this today in the wild:
This one is a BSA, the first one I have seen branded as a Twenty. It is mostly stock, but has been cared for well, although I’m not so sure about the sporty positioning of the saddle and handlebar. I have started to notice a lot of Twenties out on the streets of Manchester, but this is the first one which has been cared for.
I had a beautiful BSA Twenty before my Pashley :) all original, burgundy with golden fenders, white saddle and white handle grips, so so cute! bought for £8 (oh how I love local ads!) ;) loved it to bits... but not as much as my Pashley! Can you get that attached to a bike? I thought not possible... I was wrong eheh!
