RALEIGH CHOPPER MK2 VINTAGE 1970s – PURPLE Own an icon of 1970s British cycling! This vintage Raleigh Chopper MK2 combines unmistakable retro styling with the character and patina collectors love. With its high-rise handlebars, long banana saddle, raised sissy bar and distinctive stick-shift gear lever, it is a standout piece for any vintage bicycle collection. FEATURES * Classic purple frame with orange accents * Original Raleigh decals and “The Raleigh Nottingham England” headbadge * Black banana seat with white strap, with no visible tears * High-backed sissy bar and Raleigh bell with cloverleaf logo * 3-speed Sturmey-Archer gearing with stick-shift lever * Tyres showing decent tread * Design number 934257 CONDITION Good vintage condition for its age, with attractive original patina. The purple paint has some fading, scratches and age-related marks, especially along the top tube and around the rear dropouts. There is visible surface rust and oxidation on some bolts, chain and chrome components, including handlebars and pedals. The seat appears intact, and the gear system is reported to operate. No major structural damage has been reported, but this is a decades-old bicycle, not a fully restored or mint example. Cleaning, lubrication and a professional safety check are recommended before riding. WHY IT’S SPECIAL First introduced in 1969, the Raleigh Chopper became a British pop-culture icon. The MK2 is particularly loved for its distinctive 1970s styling and the nostalgic appeal of its motorcycle-inspired design. A fantastic find for vintage bicycle collectors, retro cycling enthusiasts, display or sympathetic restoration. An authentic piece of cycling history with timeless collectible appeal!
