All,
I picked up a Raleigh RSW (Raleigh Small Wheel) from a non-profit bike shop that was forced to downsize. Shout out to Velocipede Bike Project. Also picked up four Dahon 16" folders, but that's another story.
Now to the RSW.
Unlike any RSW I've seen. Sideways fold. Carrying handle and SA three speed with coaster brake. And had signs of aging and neglect, cables rusted in place, tires flat, rust everywhere, no chain.
This is a beauty.
For two days all I saw were problems. But I did squirt PB Blaster on the rusted stuff. Overnight I did research and my RSW was 'different'
Today I started by removing the busted bell. Then concentrated on the folding lever locking nut/bolt. They were rusted together, so heat (propane torch), PB Blaster and persuasion got that apart(sorry, no pictures).
