Mods, I wish register a complaint allowing somebody to post pictures of their chopper on a public message board.

I'm sure your drooling over my chopper and it is bringing back memories of when you had a nice one

Indeed mine was very shiny caused by the regular polishing given to it by the local girls

Cayton, if, they were currently available to do so, could you have booked a cruise that was cheaper?

Great bike �� great memories

The Raleigh Chopper reminds me of the kind of bikes used in Easy Rider

as cool as they come in terms of early kids bikes - then replaced by the adventure of the BMX

knowing my luck, I would have booked the same 2 week as kempo. ��.
Not added it up yet but it's got to be around £800 spent. I recon of I sold it all tomorrow it would make over a grand.

Aye. Good old 70s. The amount of memories me, the mrs and family members have reminisced whilst sipping a few beers. Pricless

Update. Fitted the brake cables on the Tommi. Changed to white as you can only buy white for the rod pull version.
Started to build the wheels for the grifter. Got the front one completed. Took me a while to get the hang of lacing the spokes but got there in the end.

Got a offer on the yellow chopper frame which was to good to turn down. So £315 goes back in the pot.
Building the grifter next as I have everything bar the seat (rocking horse sht) and think I will order some new inner tubes. Lol old ones have rust on them ��
