[mepeter]

hello,

Recently got my hand on one of these, but know very little about it, can anyone shed any light on the year or model? and also value?

thanks!

Is that the actual bike or a catalogue photo

 

[mepeter]

thats a catalogue photo, the one i have is rusty an has slicker tyres and missing front guard. but condition is around the same

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.
