This is an original Raleigh Chopper Mk2The frame number is on the back wheel dropout which dates it at the latest to late 1972.It is in its original paint including lots of battle scars and some chrome loss/pitting. The worst being on the front wheel rim as shown in the photos.It is all there (seat strap is not original) and rides well.I rode it in our carnival and I/it got lots of smiles!I have cleaned and polished it and that it all. It shines well but you may want to repaint etc. An ideal restoration project.To get the seat high enough for me I added two simple brackets because I couldn't move the sissy bar. I believe there is a knack to this, I didn't want to force it!I have been using it in a retro shop display and it has brought back many happy childhood memories to many 40+ year olds! :)I would prefer you to collect but I will box it up if you want to arrange a courier.Please feel free to ask any questions.Collection within 7 days after end of auction unless already paid for, otherwise I will relist and feedback will be left accordingly.Thanks for looking.
