Hi, I have been watching your videos, it is great to see the Chopper Updates. Due to me being 6 foot & my long legs & the way my back is, I just can't ride my new 2024 chopper, even at the max seat height without a lot of pain & discomfort. I feel they need to be ridden at least and not just kept in the shed for me. I did think about getting some longer seat post, custom made & longer sissy bars, but, I don't think I can ride it comfortably at all. So, I have decided I will be selling my Raleigh Chopper 2024 in Space Blue, It is still Mint out the box. I also managed to get some brand new Front & Rear Wheels complete with Tyres from someone that was stripping one for parts. If you know anyone that wants a 2024 Model, I will be selling it at near cost price to me, with the spare wheels, as well & some funky wing mirrors I got for it. I am not looking at making any Silly profits in the sale. I will be putting it on Ebay in the future, if I can't shift it locally or to someone that really wants it. I am a few miles south of Croydon, near Purley Town Centre, I won't be posting it, to avoid any damage & hassle with Hermes or it getting smashed in transit, so it would be cash on collection. The spare brand new wheels, also cost me quite a bit, but, I think I paid a fair price for them, I did later speak to a Raleigh dealer & he said, you can't even buy them as spare parts anymore. It seems crazy that Raleigh are not offering a lot of spare parts for people that actually want them. If you know anyone that might want it, then let me know in a reply in the comments. Regards. Daz
Hi mate sorry to hear about you can't ride your bike, I will ask about for you to see if anyone is interested, how much are you wanting? I would be interested in the new rear wheel as the fronts don't fit a mk2, yes it's very sad that Raleigh have sold out yet again of chopper spares, they could make a fortune from sales and being in financial trouble you'd think they'd capitalise on people wanting parts, I myself could have spent at least £400 on bits easily, thanks for viewing and commenting cheers 🥂 and have a great Sunday.
@@paulmartin4971 - I thought all the front wheels were the same, I think the spare wheels I got was stripped from a 2023 or Mk4 Chopper, the guy was going to make more cash on parts, stripping a new bike, so he did & he listed them on ebay. I did look at Ebay this morning & I think someone was selling a decent rear wheel on there & also someone was selling a front wheel & there was some other bits & a very old chopper as well for like £90 on buy it now I think, which even had the wheels on it. I thought the front wheels were all the same size & diameter. There also seemed to be some bargains with raleigh choppers in need of repair & what seemed like some kind of mini chopper also the budgie, I don't remember seeing that before as a child. Ideally, I wanted to sell it all together for around £1350 which is more or less my original cost price. Original bike cost was £999, Both Spare wheels & an extra Tyre were just over £300 approx or near abouts, Other Pedals & wing mirrors & clamps were near £50 etc... - This would be with the extras, both new front & rear wheels with tyres & inner tubes, an extra new spare rear tyre, spare other pedals, as I kept the originals clean & sealed in the pack & some funky wing mirrors & clamps not fitted. If I got £1400 locally or from someone else, I would make £50 or so profit, for all the time spent on it, but, I would rather sell it to someone that wants it & not go chasing for profits.
