Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Cycling Raleigh Chopper Icon of the 70s

I used to have an orange Mk 1 back in the day. A very cool bike if you were a kid but ridiculously heavy. Any idea how the new ones (alu frame, v-brakes, bar shifters etc) compare ?

£800 though kimpri1 ? Mine cost about £30.

yes £800,
All the parts are iv got are ether NOS (new old stock) or Raleigh originals in mint condition ,No copies or any parts that have been re-chromed,

when its done the only thing that's not going to be original on the bike is the paint,

Raleigh chopper front wheel off eBay, it wasn't as good as described by the seller tho,

the hub/bearings are knacked,

super fast delivery hi didn't scrimp on the packing either

Pizza box

used

its re-cycling (oh no its too early to try and be funny haha)

i was going to bid on this chopper changed my mind tho clicky

jealous!

Wow when u said a chopper I thought you meant a motor bike chopper lol would love a photo with me sitting on it if thats ok grown men living out there childhoods lol

I am curious on how you go on with this kimps How did you get on with it ?

Wow! I can remember how as a kid I'd dream of owning a Raleigh Chopper. I can recall them being displayed in Shallcross's window on Laird Street and costing £32 10s 6d... Way too expensive so sadly, I never did fulfil my dream of getting one.

One went on Ebay the other day for about £450. Must need their heads testing.
