The Story:
The Raleigh Chopper is a children's bicycle, a wheelie bike, manufactured and marketed in the 1970s by the Raleigh Bicycle Company of Nottingham, England. Its unique design became a cultural icon and is fondly remembered by many who grew up in that period. The design was influenced by dragsters, "chopped" motorcycles, beach buggy’s, and even chariots, as can be seen on the center page of the 1969 Raleigh US catalogue.
The Model:
The Mk 2 ("Mark 2") Chopper was an improved version sold from 1972.
