Film and TV stars and their bikes!

I’m not well up on my Raleigh Choppers but did I understand it right that he did it on a kids size Chopper?
It's a bit of a FrankenChopper.

All the promo video/photos show him with a stock MKll Chopper from the 70s. What he actually rode was a customised MKlV Chopper. The second re-release after the truly awful MKlll
A quick look reveals:
"standard issue" MKIV frame and forks
Wheels still the standard 20" & 16" size.
custom stem & bars for comfort/fit Paddy's large frame
Standard seat with custom long post to fit Paddy's height
Custom sissy bar with mini back rest for the "Chopper look"
 
Billy Connolly on his Flying Scot - not a lot of people know he did several End to Ends for charity in the 80's, apparently he was pretty speedy over the distance.
