Is that the actual bike or a catalogue photo

Didn't Raleigh re release the Chopper about 15 years ago? (And again this week I think) possibly one from that era.

Re:

The two-piece seat is the reissue version and not worth all that much. People want the one-piece banana seat and T-shifter from the 1970s.

You'd a thunk those v-brakes would have given the game away! How to make a bad bike worse - re release it!

Re:

I believe the OE tyres with a red stripe are a big value boost.

Seats should be a single piece unit.
