The Raleigh Chopper has been re-launched and although it looks similar to the bikes of my yesteryear i am not convinced that it is an improvement ( i loved them back then but not so sure now :lol: )
Who had a chopper as a child but wouldn't care to let it become public knowledge? or maybe you were proud of the fact.
were you one of the unfortunate kids who's parents bought them a grifter instead and you would get picked on? :(

do you think choppers should be left in the 1970s, remain just a fashion mistake memory like flares and platform shoes and should never be revived?
