This is the original Raleigh 'Chopper' bicycle of the 1970's. I never got to own one as I was skint most of the time as a kid. As I remember I wasn't too keen on this bike anyway. These are now collectors' bikes and are often up for auction for massive amounts of money. A fin fashion bike which I have not offence against as it does get many kids on bicycles and that' cant' be bad.

ReplyDeleteAs a young girl, growing up in Zimbabwe, in about 1978/1979 I owned a red chopper. It was truly a kids best friend... It was great for off roading through the bush and I used to lift my best friend backwards :) If I knew where to buy one now I would...and ride my 40 year old ass around the neighborhood! ha ha
