I'm loving this thread. I too have recently got hold of a BSA 20 and a Raleigh Shopper. The shopper, although untidy, is perfectly ridable and I do ride it much to the amusement of the locals seeing a 6', 50yo bloke riding a girly pink, 70's shopping bike complete with both luggage racks & baskets.
The BSA is so far totaly stripped down ready for a 'Sheldon' make-over. As it is at this moment -
Stripped & painted silver. (will be stripped, re-painted & rebuilt again once finalised).
Head tube cut down to accept a kids MTB front sus fork. As I am going to fit 406 rims this solves a multitude of problems (brakes etc).
Front fork fitted. As it happens, the head tube bearings from the kids bike fit a treat.
I'm not quite sure what action to take with the BB yet as I want to fit the 6 speed rear wheel from the kids MTB.
I am starting a blog Here if anyone is interested.
