My Folding 20 is still in service, it's gotten lighter over the years. Mostly Campy stuff leftover from other projects, Nuke Proof Hub's.

Cool read! Bottom line... The more cyclist, the better!
My poor 79’ R20 is languishing at my house waiting for me to jump into a aluminium rim change.

Thanks! It’s had a well traveled life since leaving England. Even then it was taken care of. Once passed to me I continued using it on a regular basis till a change in marriage status has put it on hold.
Rims, seatpost, brake pads and saddle are the only upgrade I plan. Better 451 tires are calling me though! A bare frame to mod would scratch any itch I could have to mess with this one anymore! Your machine just adds to that juice.
