Have just entered the folding bike game with this,

I wanted a Brommy but the wife didn't look chuffed when she saw me looking at them the other day!

I've got a spare Shimano CB-E110 coaster hub and a spare bmx rim so will probably build a new rear wheel for it.

I'll probably need a longer seatpost but will worry about that once I have the bike and try it for size.

BMX mag wheel up front would be cool and maybe some bmx bars to keep the stem low and reduce flex.

I’d recommend some less flexy brakes too, if those are anything like the stock Raleigh jobbies.

I got some odyssey 1999s cheap a few years back. But I just checked Ebay and they’ve gone up in price somewhat.(Bloody hell!)

Rear braking will be handled by the coaster, up front I might see about adding studs for a mini V. Looks like a replacement wheel up front so rim should be alloy and braking could be pretty good.
