It has a Lytaloy 1inch headset - no head clip on this one. ( I took it off to clean it up ) Interestingly it had 1/8 ball bearings in the bottom cup and 5/32 in the top cup.

It's a Hobbs of Barbican Superbe

Fancy kit
The Chris King of its day.

Pity his fellow riders with their now-obsolete Brampton Headclips, in their day probably cost more than a day's wages...

To me your not missing a Raleigh Chopper....what your missing is a Norton or a Triumph in that clobber?

When I was younger I had a huge purple chopper…

You can get ointment for that.

Xmas sob story. In about '64 Dad bought my twin sister and me a trainset. I loved it - she not so much.
The following Xmas my present was her half of the trainset. I'm still not over it.

Oh know you can't!
