RE:RE:RE:RE:MISC: Raleigh Twenty .vs. Raleigh RSW

The Raleigh R.S.W. 16's had tartan bags on the rear racks. Very cool 60's magic. I encountered a very old lady in Windsor, Ontario Canada in a bike shop and she snapped at me in this nasty, tone. "No! It's not for sale."
I remember her. You kinda would have to have- a been there!
I dug in my heels and stubbornly decided to collect them.......... all! and wound up with quite a large number of these various bikes in all their varrying versions.
Mad about everything Raleigh.
Shipping these insanely heavy bikes over from England too. Yes the delightful madness.. It all comes back to me. I told this one shop owner how I loved the R.S.W. 16's. He had them around in the shop and wanted to dispose of them at top, top dollar prices and he already had my money.

I advise you to buy a Raleigh 20 and then visit Sheldon Brown's page. That is a ridable, enjoyable bike.
Forgive me, but to be honest, The R.S.W. 16 is just wonderful to look at. Not really practical to ride a R.S.W. 16. They are too heavy. If you have the money, buy a new Alex Moulton.
