Best bike ever!

There were a handful of girls who came along, but mostly men. Will see if I can find better photos and scan them rather than use my phone.

Also mindful of bombarding this thread full of Choppers, but still feels relevant as to most of the motley crew in the above photo, the Chopper is the Bestest bike ever!

Post away mate, best is opinion based after all. Try not to set Tom's twitch off though 😁
 
I might roll up to his shop one day with a Chopper and ask the cost to upgrade to a 12 speed Di2 group and would the T-bar shift still be compatible... ;) 🤪 🤣
Anything is possible if you got the readies😃

I'm immediately thinking to change the t-bar into a rocker switch, forward to downshift, back to upshift.

Hotwire a pair of micro switches into the sw-r9160...

5 minute job mate😉

...tt levers in the end of the ape hangers...disc mounts... grind the chain wheel down to take a 12 speed chain. Might have to modify the chain guard.

I'm not warranty-ing the original fork against disc braking forces though🤔

I think the group is around £3k
New fork £150
Full bike setup £150
Couple of brazing jobs £100

So £3500 est.
