Notes:
1977 Raleigh Folding Bike. AKA "Twenty," "Folder," "Shopper," and "Stowaway."
This bike was originally sold at a bike store in England- hence the uncommon-for-the-US stock 451 rims with matching fenders. I have no idea how it ended up in San Francisco. I refurbished the bike with all new bearings and lube. Everything but the saddle is stock. That front rack is made by a company called Steco out of Holland, and I imagine that it was originally sold with the bike when new.
