Raleigh chopper mk1

[simonpolly]

I had a yellow one when I was a lad. It had one big back wheel, one small front wheel, the tyres had a red ring round them, it had three gears on the top bar with a lever to change them and a big long seat you could give your mates a "backy" with. What's to know ?

Make sure you tell your mate not to lean back ,unless you want to do a involuntary wheelie.

a standard one has the 3 speed gearbox but the deluxe had a 5 speed 

Correct my Brother had a 5 speed derallywotsit one, it was made for the US market i believe.
I cuffed my lip on it so it taken away and replaced with a Striker and then a Grifter.
After I learnt to bunny hop my Grifter i got a Raleigh burner skyway thing in Gold, it was so much lighter I could hop even the biggest kerb which was an achievement as an 8 year old
