Used to love playing the Boot Hill machine in their foyer next to the paddle boats.

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!

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!

Bet it costs more for an old one than the repro !

Re: My New Raleigh Chopper!

people pay up to £200 for a repro when you can pick up a nice mk2 for the same price if you look hard enough,:cry:

Yes there was (in order of size descending) the Chopper, Tomahawk, Chipper and Chippy. The Chippy had solid tyres if I remember correctly.
Personally I loved my Purple Chopper (oo err).
Regarding the price of them now I recently saw an episode of 'Cash in the Attic' or something similar and one sold for £80....the people were chuffed with that but I bet they wouldn't have been if they had known how much they go for on Ebay.
