Chopper Bicycle

[Herr Tubthumper]

I never had a Chopper but I did have a Tomahawk though.

I liked the fact Raleigh used to have a whole family of bikes: Chopper, Tomahawk and Chipper. The Boxer, Striker and Grifter.

I had one back in 197? red went like stink down hill rubbish gears for getting back up the hill but boy was it COOL

I was a Grifter boy meself. But the Chopper definitely had more FLAIR.

They were the next generation. My brother is 3 years younger than me and he had a Grifter. Nice bikes though. Kind of a forerunner to the BMX.

Me too. A Grifter was a poor 2nd to a Chopper.

No way, equal to if anything, then came the Grifter XL and even the bomber was humbled.

Having just looked into prices of these things (in the hope I could buy IMiss), you boys have thrown away a seriously large amount of cash!.

Thanks to a nice bit of research done by stat brother I believe this is the one we have:

Your Number 1 Online Raleigh Chopper Shop

and there's no way I'm spending that kind of cash, on my boy

I think the Chipper was the forerunner to the Tomahawk rather than part of the same family. The Tomohawk tried to be more Chopper-like but was a bit overendowed with meaningless plastic, from memory.

I had a crappy second hand mk 1......so i resprayed it dark blue with rattle cans, wired front and back lights with switches on the "gear stick" console and added great big wing mirrors! it looked the dog's if i say so myself!

I too was a Grifter boy, however the BMX killed them. Sad times.

I always wanted a Chopper but my parents could not afford one

However I used to borrow a mates quire a lot, I think Rio Ferdinand collects Chopper bikes and has quite a few.

How much do you want for it?

I really loved my Grifter, with the 'Sturmy' gears. Those bikes were practically indestructible, no matter how many ramps I went over or kerbs I bashed up.

But the Chopper looked cooler didn't it.

Nonsense, these bikes were out when proper bikes ie BMXs were out, I remember bunnyhoping a milk create on a grifter and when I landed the front forks collapsed and sent me over the bars. indestructible (my arse)
