Got my first Folder today!

I was picking up some bikes this morning and spotted a Folding bike. Turns out it is a Raleigh Folder model. Nice copper color with the 3 speed hub.

Its all stock except the seat is from a Magna and it has some paint overspray on it.


Anyone else out there with them? My friends have no idea why I think its cool.

The Raleigh Twenty (Also known as a Raleigh Folder in later year models) has a cult following around here. They are loved both in original form and as the basis of hopped up customs. I have two myself..
