I thought about mentioning the Rudge, my point stands. As you know there are three Raleighs in my house, so pot calling the kettle black.
Sucky news about the Twenty, but I understand that as losses go it maybe wasn't so hard. I had a Moulton Stowaway that I wanted to love but it just wasn't a good fit for me and I didn't enjoy it for more than a couple of blocks. It went back to the original owner's son, who finally got old enough to value it. I miss the idea of it more than the actual bike.
