Riding the Twenty yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised with its fit and handling. I have found the new home for my B17. New brake levers and cables, some BMX tires from the bin, and this thing's gonna be rad.
Continuing to try to thin my herd of bicycles, this is another that I won't give up just yet. I met Camilo on the street last night, and he said "you're Sheldon Browning it". Yes, I suppose I am.
Your homework is some reading about the Raleigh Twenty and Sturmey-Archer three speeds. My homework is to find out what's making the sound of gerbils in the drivetrain after 20 km of riding.

Yeah but I doubt that Sheldon Brown would do a stair drop on that thing.
Sheldon's article makes Twentys seem like really cool and useful bikes. I kinda want one now.
that's one fugly bike.
It looks kinda like this one?
hahaha.... you won't be parting with it just yet eh?
thanks for the bike buddy :D by the way, 1.95's don't quite clear after all... gonna have to find me some more 1.75s.
Jason, in your hands, it's as good as mine. Too bad about the tires. Baby's first scraper bike?
I'll rock the OG tires till something bad happens to them. Holy Rollers come in 1.75 and are light.... :)
yellow Dairyland crate was attached to the rack before I even got it home... I'm ready to pick up groceries.
Way to go Maxxis, for making good tires in weird sizes. The 16" Hookworms helped Lyle become 2008 Zoobomb Champion of 2008.
