Raleigh Compact folding bike. 20 inch wheels. Suitable for renovation or parts.

The Raleigh Compact folding bicycle offers a classic British approach to urban mobility, designed for cyclists needing a space-saving transport solution. With its neat 20-inch wheels and white frame, this compact folding bike represents a practical option for urban commuters or cyclists with limited storage space. While currently requiring some restoration work, the bicycle retains core Raleigh engineering principles that made the brand a stalwart of British cycling.

The frame shows some evidence of previous use, with visible rust spots and a missing folding frame locking bolt that will need attention from someone comfortable with bicycle restoration. Despite these challenges, the core mechanical components appear functional - the brake levers, cables, and 3-speed hub mechanism seem basically intact. This makes the bike an interesting project for a mechanically-minded cyclist looking to resurrect a classic folding bicycle.

Currently located in Wallingford, Oxfordshire, this Raleigh Compact is being offered as a potential renovation project or parts source for someone who appreciates vintage British cycling engineering. Interested parties should be prepared to collect the bicycle in person and have the skills or resources to address its current mechanical limitations. For the right enthusiast, this could represent an opportunity to breathe new life into a classic piece of cycling history.
