This is just a quick walk around 12 bikes that I took to The One Show on Tuesday 13/3/18. These are MK1's & Sprints. With a good variety of specs and colours. Feel free to comment, thx guys.

I had 2 older sisters,and we were a bit poverty stricken,so I always got their hand me down bikes,which were used when they got them,so when I became the new owner they were pretty wrecked. One day while riding my very girly bike in the park down our road,to the amusement of the local hard lads. I saw for the very first time one of these wonderful looking Chopper bikes. It was love at first sight,and the kid that owned it,was a school mate of one of my sisters,he was 3 years older than me,but actually let me have a ride on it. I have never forgotten the excitement of riding it,and that was in the summer of 76.
I pleaded with my parents to get me one for Christmas and birthday combined,and that i would do all the chores they needed. Christmas came and went,and sadly no Chopper for me that year,nor on my birthday in January.
So at the age of 9,I decided that I needed to be extra good,and I started to really make an effort to get in my parents good books. I was forever getting into trouble,I never came home on time,I would be fighting almost every day,and was getting a bit of a reputation as being a little bit wild. I was grounded regularly,but quickly learned to shimmy down the drainpipe just outside the bathroom window. My weekly allowance of 20 pence was constantly under threat of being stopped.
I volunteered to peel the potatoes for my mum,and quickly became lighting fast at doing it. I am not going to lie and make out I became an angel,its hard to change your nature,but I did try,and I think that is why on Christmas day 1977 I received the best present in my entire life to this day. It was a purple Raleigh Chopper Mk 2. I rode that beast to death,and over the next 5 years we were inseparable except for the odd occasion it threw me off. I was hospitalised twice,and was seriously concussed both times.I never went anywhere without it. Very happy times indeed.
I never realised that there were so many models. I love your collection. I have never stopped riding bikes BTW and commute to work everyday on a road bike,which is quite rare for a builder.
Absolutely no messing around - all extraordinary bikes, nothing bog-standard there. Tremendously informative, so much to digest in such a short film. Just superb.
Appreciate your comments, many thanks!
What an amazing collection 2 weeks ago I found a mk1 targa mustard in a skip whilst walking the dog! Best find ive ever had!
Thankyou, great find. Quite a hard bike to find let alone being a skip find. Well done
I had a Raleigh Chopper back in 1972 it was Burgandy Red Had it for about a week when it got stolen off our front porch. Never saw it again I would love to get another one just like it some day This was in Florida
I learned a lot. I own 4 but had to repaint 3 of them because the previous owners had over sprayed them in none original colours. The oldest is a Jan 1970 upturned cleat in Golden Yellow. I got an Horizon Blue Crossover for my 11th birthday in 1972. I was the only one with a square top Sissy Bar. The handlebars were standard Mk1. It cost ￡35 from the Co op!
Golden yellow mk1's are fantastic. In 72 they were using up the mk1 frames fitting them with mk2 parts until the stocks were drained and they could continue with mk2 frames. I think the mk1 looks really nice with a square top sissy.
My grandmother shipped a purple 3 speed T shifter, reverse peddle rearbreak, to Melbourne Australia, for me in 1972 . It was bought in the east end of London a large Warehouse , houndsditch warehouse I think. I rode it everywhere, woreout and replaced all the bearings, but even with hard use, I cleaned and polished everyday, so it always looked like new.
Great times I bet, good to hear the memory!
Had an orange 3spd. one somewhere in the 80's and loved it.
Also had a 16'-rearwheel chopperbike, as far as i remember it wasn't a Raleigh tho.
I also had the blue X with the 3spd Sturmey-hub somewhere in the 80's.
Abt. 15 yrs ago i had 2 Mk3's as well, and i can't remember where they ended up sadly...
If i get the change i'll buy myself another Mk3👍🏽🤗
I had a 1970 Orange one for my 7th birthday but always wanted a Yellow one for some reason.
I wanted one of those so bad when I went to Miami shores elementary school, it was a dream bike, coolest thing in the bike racks!!
Proper cool...
Amazing to see these bikes.. Had a red one 1978
I had the first ever green Mk1 in Wales in early 1969.
Bought from a bike shop in Hereford.
I had one identical to your Dad’s. Great memories!
Fantastic, so many great memories
I had a red mk2 for Xmas '76..loved it.
Had a 1968 Mk1 10 speed in Singapore, was bought for my Christmas as we had moved there in Oct 68, was red in colour with a cable running through the frame and also a high padded back or head rest that kept slipping down every time we tried to jump monsoon drains. It had red lines going around the tyres which looked great. Mum told me it was one of the first sold in Singapore. Loved that bike and was heart broken when we had to leave it behind. Still have some pictures some where must find them
Please let me know when you do find the pictures, would love to see that bike. Was it a Raleigh made 10 speed or another manufacturer?
@@Mudbrothers Hi, When I find the picture I will post it, I was a Raleigh not an other make like the Canadian ones, I had one and my best mate had one, his was orange and mine was red,
@@wfmccbikerforlife2981 Would really like to see it if you come across any pics.
Love your bikes I like original old bikes awsome video
Thank you very much!
Omg brings me back to my childhood years!!
Nice one
I had a MkII new circa 75 in New Zealand... eventually I converted it to Pantha mags front & rear (Made the forks fit at 10yo)... Unfortunately I learned about triangulation and how a square rear frame was weak on jumps.
In its original form it was great 'no hands' and wheelies were so easy but due to geometry, you just sat with the wheel about 1 ft off the ground.
The pedals were only held on with c-clips and would pop off taking your shoe's instep and a bit of flesh with it.
Awesome Sir for sure! Love your collections especially tall frame. Had some back in 2010 4 MK1 & 3 MK2 here in Indonesia. Already sold and bit regret it. Still had 1 left.
I’m remembering the early 70s chopper’s having flat rear slick tires and thin red wall on front and back tires .chopper’s were awesome looking bikes back then
You're right, only in the export market though. In the UK it was just the basic tyres, over in the states, Canada etc. They had the herringbone slicks with red line.
what an amazing collection, always wanted one as a kid but ended up with a Bronco, 50 years later I bought a mk3 and changed it as close as possible to a mk2
Thanks Paul, Always liked the Bronco. Mk3's are good in the respect that they are light, if you changed it to look like a mk2 then even better. Really that's how Raleigh should have built them but health and safety got in the way of that.
Love your collection brother and your knowledge of the bikes shows there in good hands for a longtime to come, your dads original is awesome, I wouldn't do a single thing to that bike, as it stands right now it's a two wheeled photo album every scratch and mark will have a time and place, restoring it will only make it like all the other hundreds of resto's out there, as it is the bike has a lot of stories to tell. 👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Thank you very much. Its a very special bike to me. & yes you could write a book about it with the stories it could tell.
Ade H wow yer
Very cool. That Orange Fastback 100 was my dream bike as a kid. It never did happen. Now the prices are crazy. Too bad I was late to the party. 🤔
I remember the first kid on the block that had one of these (1970)-ish, he'd let everyone have a spin and the truth was it was the worst, most-difficult bike to pedal of anyone's but boy was it cool when standing-still... 🤗
Miles Campbell ,you just triggered a long long memory of my childhood. I still have my 1969 eaton glider fastback 100....yes it was a difficult one to pedal ...i remember thinking that when i just got it....but that evaporated once i got used to it and started to fall in love with it. Thanks for reminding me.I guess i was always a critical perfectionist.
Me just ordering a mk3 after wanting one for 10 years and this guy has them all 😂
I remember back in 82 we had some half decent BMXs
One of our mates dads bought him a chopper from the local second hand shop ...we pissed ourselves
Till this day we call him chopper...
Back in 72-3 i had a Raleigh Chipper when i out grew it i was given a red mk1 had that for years and years till it was pinched outside a shop i was devastated been meaning to get a project but i have 3 moultons 1 nearly finished and 2 that need everything restored but i will get one great video
Fantastic. I would love to get hold of one just for nostalgia . Prices have skyrocketed last few years.
Hi mate was the second bike blue one …only the American market have those gears ..cheers pal .
Also so many variants ..didn’t realise
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to do it. I had the Orange single speed brand new.
Wow, do you remember what year you got it?
Thanks for sharing , I had a green chopper that was just a coaster brake bike , I remember how I busted my parents balls to buy it for me , it was quite expensive at the time being an imported item from England , but they did buy it and I remember having plenty of fun riding it eventhough it didn't have the 3 speed shifting or a handbrake ,,,,,,, I think I got it in 1969 , but anyway ,,,,, thanks again for a great video .
Really interesting. My 3speedmk2 is as far as my personal hands-on knowledge goes so great to see and hear about the different specs available around the world. So thanks very much
There are so many variations, really becomes very interesting & of course new bikes being found in strange colours, different head badges etc. All adds to the mystery.
Beautiful collection.. Lovely to share. Thank you
One of my friends sadly passed away just before Christmas, he`s left me & another friend his collection of 6 restored Choppers, & parts, including 2 frames. We are going to keep one each & sell the rest (I`ll be keeping a black Mk2 Prizzy, as that's what I had as a kid!), as we just don't have the room to keep them. I`ve got no idea how to value them though, the prices seem to vary wildly.
Sorry to hear about your friend. Prices are pretty good at the moment. If you want send me some images I will give you an honest appraisal. When it comes to selling either ebay or one of the chopper forums on Facebook would be best.
@@Mudbrothers Thanks, it was unexpected, so is a shock. Thanks for your offer of help too. I remember him talking about them, but I don't really remember what he said now sadly. I know one of the Mk1`s in an "over-cleat", I remember him talking about high & low rise frames, I know at least one is a 5 speed, & there is a chrome framed Mk2 that doesn't seem to be a Jubilee model, but that's it. I might be digging them out today, so I`ll try to get pics.
@@MrPabsUk If the mk1 is a over cleat or utc as we call them it would have been made from around jan 1970 - middle of 1970. So its a fairly early and probably quite desirable depending on condition. 5 speeds are always worth good money whether its a mk1 or mk2. The chrome bike, well they never made a chrome mk2 so as such only good to someone who really wants a bit of bling. Not for a purist. Still a cool bike to have but wouldn't be worth much to a collector. The jubilee is sprayed silver and would be worth good money too. Shame it isn't one of them.
@@Mudbrothers The chrome one looked very "right" & felt like it was aged correctly for what would have been its period, I guess it would have been done a long time ago!
Of the 6, I took 3, the Mk1 tall frame, the MK1 5 speed & the Mk2 Prizzy.. The tall frame is in very nice condition, I`m not sure how original it is, I know its got the "wrong" colour graphics on it, but the rest of it looks right to me! The 5 speed was originally lime green, its now black. It needed a repair to the rear brake mounting as it was cracking away from the tubes (I`ve been restoring cars for 30 odd years, so welding it back was easy enough, & the previously missing brake stays have now been fitted, so that shouldn't happen again). It also had chrome graphics & a white seat strap when I got it, they`ve now been changed to the correct (with black) orange.
The Mk2 Prizzy which I`m keeping needs a repair to the seat "cleat", as the welds have parted company with both top tubes, I`ve not got round to that yet, theres no hurry as I`ll be keeping it. I also have another prizzy frame, but one of the top tubes has parted company with the front handlebar post, so another repair in order! I may do a custom build with that later, maybe a direct replica of the one I had as a kid (which got more & more custom as I owned it!).
I want to sell the tall frame & 5 speed Mk1`s, I reckon £4k the pair is about right?
Raleigh Ireland 1967
New machiney had been installed,
These machines had the capibility to increase production by 300%,
new electro static paint guns were also installed…
But as with the times, because Union Jack symbols were etched into these machines
some workers refused to opperate them.
As a result the plant became expensive to run and eventually closed permanently in 1980,
All 540 staff lost their jobs.
The Raleigh Plant in Nottingham was at that time so efficient that 1 weeks output would sustain the Irish market for a whole year.
The Raleigh plant in Nottingham went into decine in the late 1990’s as it became more cost effective to produce Bicycles in Asia and India. By 2002 it was little more than a sales and marketing HQ.
The factory closed in 2005 and was later demolished. Little of this historic factory remains.
Today the Raleigh brand is still fondly remembered, but all of the production takes place in China, Vietnam and India.
Many thanks for the information. I have pictures of the Nottingham plant using the electro static guns during the 60's. Such a shame what happened to both factories.
There was also a chrome Mk1. There was one for sale in my local bike shop in 1971 for ￡38 and it had an orange seat strap which looked odd. The lettering was black.
Do you remember where this bike shop was? My father always said he saw a chrome one in 1970, I didn't believe it at first but I have since found a original chrome mk1 and other stories stating similar things relating to it. Perhaps there was more than one made.
@@Mudbrothers Yes, it was Jack Carter & Son in Newton-le-Willows, Lancashire. It is now a Tattoo Parlour. My friends also remember it. We used to go and drool over it. I wish we had phone camera's back then! I never saw anyone local riding round on it locally. Even thought it looked great we even knew then that with the British weather it would be difficult to keep it rust free!
@@Mudbrothers am I corresponding with Jake B?
@@davidholmes2283 He's a friend of mine. That's quite interesting you say Lancashire as my father said he saw it early/mid 1970 in Cheshire on display. Perhaps it did the rounds. Like you say he drooled all over it and later that year got a yellow mk1 for his Birthday.
@@Mudbrothers I got a Horizon Blue for my 11th birthday in 1972. In fact it was a combined Christmas an Birthday present because it was a big outlay for my Mum n Dad. At Jack Carters the standard Mk1 was £36 and to save money they went to the local Co-op and paid £35! Mine was the first cross-over I ever saw. I only remember seeing one other cross-over around that time.
*_Forget the bikes, where can I get that freakin' red tape from_* 🤔
My local Halfords had a couple of Choppers in silver with black (I think) writing/pin striping to celebrate the Queens Silver Jubilee. I also think it might have had posh alloy wheels but not sure. It was a cracking looking bike.
Hi Ken, well remembered. The silver ones with the alloy wheels were built between 76 - 77. Called Special Edition. Lovely bikes, if only Halfords still stocked them now.
I had a red & gold Raleigh Mustang with wide apes & silver glitter banana seat which had me feeling a little self conscious whilst cruising around the dreary streets of Derby in 1969...…
Sounds great, do you have any pics of your old bike?
I don't so iv been searching the web to try & find another.....
There were plenty more of those purple choppers made than just 3- I saw at least 2 on the road in Australia back in the mid 70's. I had one of those tcw jobs that my mum bought fairly cheaply second hand in NZ in 75 ($30 NZ IN 75) and then she shipped it to AUS for me as I was into Evil Knievel and hanna barberra cartoons where cats rode chopper motorcycles.
It was a good bike but sourcing parts for the sturmey archer gears in Australia in 77 was quite hard then.
The purple chopper is a sprint so its a different frame size to normal. The regular purple mk2, yes they made thousands of them. A lot of frames were shipped to Aus, then parts from Taiwan, Japan etc were used to assemble them. The Aus bikes are pretty smart as most are slightly different to each other. Malvern Star, Speedwell all made the chopper bikes under license in Aus. Sounded good times back then!
okay, fair enough. I don't remember if there were Irish made choppers in Australia. So long ago and almost all choppers ended up in the dump here.
I tormented my parent for a chopper but they wouldn’t get me one because Dad heard a few horror stories and said they were dangerous. He got me a sensible Triumph Twenty instead. Good bike.
My brother had one of these, and I'm pretty sure I remember that the white stripe across the seat had a warning written on it like 'not suitable for two persons' or something. :)
Yes correct, the mk2's had that added to the seat strap. Lots of people fell off the back with the bike tipping over
@@Mudbrothers Thanks for the reply. My other brother had a Budgie at one time, which I remember as being like a junior model Chopper. Do you guys collect those as well?? :)
@@thesunreport We do collect those too. They had lots of colours and variations inc a silver jubilee model. Most seem to be blue though.
@@Mudbrothers Yes my brother's was Navy blue. Cool bikes, you don't see them much compared to the actual Choppers. :)
Love your video, I never had a Chopper bike as a kid, we were poor as fuck!...but i would still love to have one, a nice Orange or Yellow would look nice in my Living Room!
Go for it, so much fun. I'm sure you wouldn't look back. But join a forum first, learn about the bikes and what to look for before buying.
The Chopper you show at the 4:12 mark is the closest one to the one I owned. Mine was a lighter green and had a round shift knob. BUT the king of Choppers to me was an all black 5 speed with red lettering and a high back seat rest.
Hello, the one in the video is called flamboyant green, they also did a apple green from 71 for a short while. Lovely colour. Through 69 the shifter looked like the one in video as a T bar, then in 70 changed to a round knob like what you had. Then from early to mid 72 Raleigh brought out the mk2 chopper and changed back to the T bar shifter. Do you have any pics of your old bike?
Mine was like an apple green. Must have been 69 or 70 because we (my parents) bought our home in 1970 and I had the bike before we moved there. I remember some kids telling me my chopper sucked because it had the peddle brake and one hand brake for the front wheel. At 9 years old I didn't know sucked meant a negative and foot brakes was the only thing I knew up until that point. I don't have any pics with me, but I think one or two may be at my mom's (me mum's for you) house in one of those double snap hard cases. I can't remember what they're called.
I really wish a company reintroduced the choppers to the market with some reasonably larger. Comfortable beyond compare to other bikes. Smooth like riding on a cloud. Easy transition shifting. They truly were the best bikes ever. Sorry for the rant. A question if I may, is it pronounced Rally or Rawly?
If you look closely at that green bike again and compare it to the yellow one next to it. You will notice the frame on the green bike is taller in the head tube than the yellow. Both are mk1's. This means the green one is a 69. The yellow happens to be a 70. If you find any pictures take a look at that part, it will help dating it. The green bike is also the same as you describe, pedal backwards for the back brake and it has 1x lever on the bars to operate the front brake. Called a TCW (Tri Coaster Wide). I plan on building some adult size choppers soon so keep an eye out. With regards to name, its pronounced Rally but obviously spelt Raleigh.
Thanks for the insight. I can't wait to see the adult size choppers. I hope it can become a full time business. I just hope they won't be too big.
Thank you, just a hobby for me to have fun with.
my mate lockie bell had a purple chopper he and his twin chris they was always out on them.

Fabulous bikes
None of them like mine I had a 78 r 79 had a rack on the back short seat on it
Fantastic video, super informative thanks for posting. I find this very helpful for somebody new to choppers and looking to purchase one. You guys are lucky in the UK as there appears to be more available. I'm in Australia and there are only few MK'3 available at the moment. What do you think of the new MK4? Such a shame they never made this available to other countries besides the UK. With your knowledge would you have any idea why they don't sell the Mk4 worldwide? I'm sure there would be a market for it. It's a mystery to me🙃
Hi great collection,thing is I got a mk3 chopper,but it looks tiny I was thinking about putting maybe a bigger wheel on back either 24 or a 26 inch and maybe a 20 on front as I want to ebike it,have you tried this with any of yours of if not have you any advice on how to make it bit bigger?thank you
I did have a 5 speed a while ago with a 20" front wheel. I'm currently building a 24" rear with a 20" front, you could do the same, but you would need to modify the frame. An E bike conversion would be simple enough if you kept the same wheel size, its big enough for an adult as standard just you wouldn't want to go too fast with the standard 16" front wheel. If cost is an issue just fit a motor to the front standard wheel, however if budget allows then cut the frame up and build a larger version with larger wheels.
@@Mudbrothers hi have you tried a standard 26 on rear,or I could I get away with a 22 inch back wheel and bmx forks and wheel for the front say a 20 inch
The last one I did used grifter front forks so a 20” front could be fitted but that was on a mk2. 26” rear will need the frame modifying. Can be done easily just depends on your budget
@@Mudbrothers budget is okay,I just wanted a 26 in on Back and 20 in on front I’ll try grifter forks,though having a motor on the front of a chopper would be weird
One bike that I’ve had on the back burner for a while is using a cycle master back wheel/engine. It’s only 25cc in size but it allows a larger wheel to be used and the engine is neat inside the rear wheel. If your using big wheels then a motor in the rear wheel will be straightforward
Thanks for all the info
I never knew there were so many variants. As a kid I had a purple Mk2 and later was also gifted an orange Mk1 but neither survive sadly. What was the black one with prismatic decals called? Was that a sprint too? I seem to remember it being one of the last to appear back in the day.
The black one was called the Prismatic, I've seen some as late as 82 on the hub. They were some of the last ones made, you're correct. The Sprints were earlier and had their own frame design different to the rest of the choppers. They were out in 72/73.
Impressive mate. 👌🏻
I knew a guy who worked at the Raleigh factory in the late 80s/early 90s. He was part of a group who basically destroyed hundreds of them, along with Tomahawks, Chippers, Budgies, Grifters, Strikers and Boxers. No one was buying them so they just destroyed the lot.
What a shame
love the video
you seem to be well in the know, I have a unridden mk2 prismatic but I'm after the prismatic stickers but all the reproduction one I have seen are not right,
any ideas where I might source some.
Thx pal, Mike Hughes was selling the best repro ones but I believe he only sells them through Martyn Green Cycles in London now. Apart from those I can't really recommend anyone else, as you say most are not correct.
@@Mudbrothers many thanks for that fella but even the ones Mike Hughes produces are not right the prismatic squares are far to small, I will keep searching
never mind bud, keep up the good work love your passion and your bikes.
@@napalon50 Its annoying right. I had some for the Sprint decals made by him and I didn't use them in the end for that reason. Like you I want it right
Sounds like David Brent doing the voiceover !
@@johnny5805 love it, I’ll take that as a compliment.
I just found a MK1 ten speed (orange). needs a front wheel and chain guard. Hard to find parts here in the states. Any ideas as to where to find replacement parts. Not a lot of ebay UK people want to ship to states?
Sounds a great find. As luck would have it the 10 speed was the only chopper than didn't have a chainguard. Front wheel, you just need to look for a dimpled one. They do come up quite often. If I find one i'll send you the link. Any pics of your find?
great review.
Cheers buddy!
Hi there ..what does 3+2 mean on a chopper ..thankyou ..
It means it has 5 gears in the rear hub
Thankyou ..
i have one like the second last one the red one here in australia i was looking how to tell year is there a way to find the numbers please
If you look at where the back wheel bolts on, there is a series of numbers stamped in the frame. Let me know the numbers and I'll tell you what date it is
@@Mudbrothers 0899893 are the ones i can see is there more of them
thanks for the reply
@@davidnetherway4734 That bike will be around September 1970. The rear wheel should say 70-9 or maybe 70-8
@@Mudbrothers thanks its just a frame i found in the outback i would like to restore it
@@davidnetherway4734 If it's the same Carmine red it's a very desirable colour. If the paint is in good condition, it would be best to leave original paint. Obviously if the sun has roached it then you can't do much other than re paint.
It's a shame they never made a larger adults version, why should kids have all the fun, they would make a fortune
Just for curiousity sake, how much would you sell that fastback 100 for (assuming you still have it)?
I did sell one a while back to a friend, but the rest I probably wont sell. However if you do want one I know of a few collectors that have them that would be willing to sell.
Have you ever seen the grey one with mag wheels
The special edition mk2 chopper or the tomahawk jubilee. Both lovely bikes.
@@Mudbrothers it was around 1979 so probably the mk2 chopper ...
@@raleighburner1589 Yes that would be about right. They made them through 76 - 77.
@@Mudbrothers where can those choppers be viewed or bought because I haven't seen that particular model since 1979
@@raleighburner1589 I'll do a video for you or google Raleigh chopper se
Sorry buddy for asking the questions but you're the man to go to
Anyway I'm wondering do you have any mk2 front wheels because the bearings are fucked or how to fix them plz
If its just the bearings easiest thing to do is change them. Just make sure you put the axle back in the correct way round. Otherwise the bearings will tighten and you could go over the bars. I'll do a vid of that soon too. Use the same grease as you would on the bottom bracket. I guarantee if you get another wheel, the bearings will be knackered anyway. Or badly adjusted.
No bother I'll just get a new one
I bought a fully working gear shifter with cover and cable for 150 is that good?
how do you date choppers, I bought one recently with 2 16750 on the frame at the rear wheel
So what is the missing number between the 2 & the 1? It'll be a 73 that you have, but with that missing number you can narrow it down a lot more.
@@Mudbrothers there isn't one, that's how it looks, do you HSBC an email address to send you a pic
@@jaggedhalo Hello I do mate, just can't give it out online though
The purple chopper belongs to me, had one as a young boy and I want it back so all the rest of you better back of , hey man if you want to sell it contact me please
I`m having a Choppergasm.
Love it
I really can't understand why no-one has ever made adult sized choppers, for sale
That's why I enjoy riding Iverson dragstrippers and TT dragsters as they are bigger and feel comfortable to ride. We have some frames in the pipeline that are scaled up copies of the original MK1. Some new videos will be coming soon
I like model,... order one..am from indonesia
Can I buy one of you
Yeah, which one are you interested in?
I just garbage picked a orange one it has the wrong seat it’s a blue pearl one it’s missing chain guards and fenders it’s a single speed coaster break I’m so shocked I found it
Single speeds are great. What does the frame number start with on your bike?
Muy bellas todas
Cómo hago para comprar una
Where do you get the back rest
Originals are hard to find, but reproductions are on ebay for sale. Repro's are not that great but from a distance still look good.
