Best Chopper exploit I've read of - London League CX stalwart Mick Bell fitted his (an original Chopper, not the recent V-braked reworking) with Time ATAC clipless pedals and rode it up Alpe D'Huez....just to prove that he could!

By the time I was old enough everyone was on Bombers, Strikers and Grifters. I think I had a Striker. There were still a few Choppers around though. I still look at them and think it's incredible that Raleigh built the thing in the first place. Hat's off to somebody... :shock: Yours is stunning Spokesmann.
As for the Alpe d'Huez effort.... I wonder what it felt like for some Dutch roadie to be overtaken by Mick on his Chopper, and notice him change down a gear and accelerate away...

Price not so buoyant as they once were.
A reasonable one, complete with no major damage should be around the 175-200 mark.
