In this episode, I’m stepping away from gravel retro shenanigans and showing you all a real piece of weird!

With a trip to Bristol on my horizon, I needed a folding bike I could take on the train to save me going in the car.

Enter my old Raleigh twenty stow away, this thing has been in storage for years and I thought it would be the perfect candidate for a custom build!

I converted the bottom bracket from 76mm to 73mm and threaded it to 24tpi to allow a modern BB to be fitted

I added 20” wheels and BMX tyres as well as a proper 2x7 speed set of gears - magic!!!

Join me for the build and the trip to Bristol in this one little video!
