Title: Fancy
Post by: miggy on 20 December 2007, 18:14:36
a little hobby in the new year, just been looking on ebay at the raleigh choppers mark ones, used to have one as a kid and i fancy doing one up, but the ones on there are already done.

Must be a MK1, not the MK2s or 3s, there were not the same bikes as the Mk1.

only problem with that is you will be paying big money as many people have jumped on the money making bandwagon and ramped the price up.......

as a hobby then something like that is a great idea, i would hwever be inclined to broaden my horizons a bit to a few more of the 70's bikes, the chipper, grifter but to name two, they are not quite as popular but still can be good fun to rebuild and worth a few bob....

A lot of the grifters were cannabalised to make BMX's you could get a conversion kit that would do it,  got through two of them and they made really good off road bikes......if a bit heavy!!!!!

I had a chopper as a kid too, i went to fast on it once, and because of the small front wheel it was´nt very stable, so inevitably i fell off and split my chin open, that was the last ride i ever had on a chopper :-/
