Tidy job, very innovative. Love a folding bike I do - they might make you look like a circus clown but you're the one laughing when you can just hop on the bus or the train with it. Growing up in England in the nineties, Raleighs were everywhere.

HOW DARE YOU! How DARE you DESTROY such a RARE CLASSIC amazing bike. It was a MASTERPIECE before you DESTROYED IT!! Sorry just had to get that in before the crazies get here. Great job Ad. I’ve still got mine stashed away that I did exactly the same mods to a year or so ago 😂 The fork is a good idea though because fuck Raleigh standards and the shitty long reach brakes!

Hahaha Mark here representing the angry British purists 😂👌 love it. Thanks heaps mate! The fork was a big bonus, gives plenty of tyre clearance too. The roller brake sort of made the V up front redundant as it works so well, only on long or steep decents I really needed the front brake. Happy to have it there for those times, bloody strong brake 👌 those long reach brakes can go to hell! Disc convert one 👀

Sweet build, Bro. Respect. I am a big fan of Morrison's N.Z. Raleigh 22" H frame shopper. Lovely racks back and front! I also have 2 x BSA 18"s and a Sun 20" of the same design, altho none fold. All have S/A 3 speeds with original Brooks leather saddles on the English ones. Really cool urban bikes in my town with few hills. Cheers.

Hi toasty, if the little window in the hub is worn, you can turn the bike over. all Shimano hubs have two indicator metal pins that need to align too. They’re coloured either red or yellow aswell.
