Raleigh Chopper MK2 - you'll never see a worse one...ever!

[slippyroots]

This isn’t a real eBay listing you know.
He’s actually playing a Life-size version of Guess Who “Scrap-it” edition.
He’s parked nose to nose with his mate, who has an entire Lancia Delta in his boot.
Every time you get a correct answer you fold down another car seat…

New pair of tyres and those wheels will be right as rain

Frame wouldn’t say no to a dab of t cut.

Well, seeing this makes me think, never neglect your chopper!

Just a light bit of polishing and good to go

...I would walk away unless it was given to me!

I would run away if it was given to me.
This looks like a crime scene. The back of that van should be checked for traces of DNA and a murder weapon.

Scan of an old photo. I built this back in 1997/98 from memory. It's made up of x3 Raleigh frames welded together!

I bet wheelies were easy and fun!

I bet wheelies were easy and fun!

Sadly quite tricky due to longer wheelbase and your arms are quite outstretched due to the extra length of the frame.

MK1's were the best due to the straight seat stays that put more weight over the back wheel.

You'll see that on MK2's they added the curve at the base of them to bring the weight further forward to help prevent wheelies and also meant saddle was shorter to help prevent you giving your mate a backie! Plus they introduced the brazed/fixed bar & stem to prevent issues they had with the MK1 where the bars twisted around in the clamp when you did jumps etc.
