A friend dropped by, she had just picked up a nice little folding bike. It's in great shape and came complete with a period plaid vinyl zippered bag on the carrier. Even the original dealer sticker is in good shape. Bloor Cycle used to be THE big bicycle dealer in the city.
The Raleigh 20 was a very popular model built in both folding and non-folding versions from 1968 to 1984. Easy to mount and dismount, its small size made it an ideal short range.

I had a Raleigh "Competition" in the 70s. Expensive, Lightweight, fast but fragile.
This one is a '72. Cheaper, heavy, slower, and bulky. :) My only regret is that I live three stories up with no elevator and this is about 35-40 pounds. haha
