Nottingham's finest

Well........it's here. I tried my best to hoodwink my inveterate bike collector friend Kryn into buying the R20 Shopper, but he didn't bite. Being the good guy he is he bought it for me. I went over to his house tonight and towed it home behind the Mundo. (I don't plan on repainting it to match, however) Other than missing the pump, toolkit, and bags the bike is stock and near mint. Original tires, Brooks saddle, the works. Other than the extra weight on the hills you wouldn't even have known it was in tow behind the Yuba. Easy. Its a funny mauve colour- The serial number starts with NB94 which according to raleightwenty.webs.com would be a 1979. One thing I did notice is that the rear brake is on the left- is this a UK model?

Saw this on the local used web last night. Must resist or I will end up like Sheldon Brown.
