I only know of two versions of the Twenty carrying the 20-inch wheel; one
with a rigid frame, and the other with a folding hinge, called the
"Stowaway". I don't think they came in "sizes", instead both bars and seat
could go up and down quite a distance, and the bars could be rotated a bit
around the clamp increasing the reach.
I'm sure there were lots of colours, though my memory is all of a blue-green
one our family owned; it had a front hub dynamo and a Sturmey 3-speed hub.
I believe there was briefly a smaller model with an 18inch wheel, but I
can't remember seeing one.
There are various other small wheeled bikes made by Raleigh in the 1960's
and 70's. Significant ones I can think of are:
RSW-16
Moulton (Mk3 made by Raleigh, under license from Alex Moulton).
