The MKIV is cool, but I do actually wish they hadn't changed the seat and kept the gear lever in the right place....
Worth buying a MKIV as I still get peeps cheering or reacting as I ride around on mine.....
Love it!Leave a comment:

Re: My New Raleigh Chopper!
I never had one of those as a kid, but I've been toying with the idea of buying one. Might buy an old one though, with the gear lever in the right place!Leave a comment:

Yeah, mine is a modern repro. So there have been a few changes to the original styling....like Daz said the ger shifts no longer on the cross beam bar, I read on some official Raleigh fans sight that the changes were made due to safety concerns i.e. coming off the bike and hurting your ahem

Re: My New Raleigh Chopper!
yes, a three gear shift stick,which I always thought was one of the coolest things about a Chopper. Seems silly to have remade them without it:cry:
