Even more hilarious. I ordered the key NGN 1 from an eBay seller in Australia. He just sent me a picture of NGN 1. No wonder this lock was so easy to pick. I bet it would open with a blank key.

Once you understand the amount of loose ball bearings involved and are no longer surprised by them falling all over the floor, it’s not too bad. I really like the Sturmey Archer 3 speed hubs.By the way, Those Raleigh’s can be a different beast to work on, right?
Oh I love those vintage shifters as well. The thumb ones are cool but the twist grips are indeed the business as far as I’m concerned…Once you understand the amount of loose ball bearings involved and are no longer surprised by them falling all over the floor, it’s not too bad.

Oddly enough they came standard on the Huffy Escape that I have. I recall reading somewhere that at some point Raleigh had actually made a few bikes for Huffy. I know the Sportsman was rebadged but I’ve often wondered about the the Escape because most of my other geared Huffys are Shimano equippedInteresting. I have a few Raleighs with the twist grips in my pile of future projects. I have never used the twist shift and for some reason assumed they were junk. Now i am anxious to try them out.
