One for sale HERE. You could be riding one again by weekend

The lump in my throat was the thought of my struggles up the hills with only 3 gears. Thank you for the offer. Brought back a lot of "memories". All the best Mike.

[QUOTE 2380823, member: 1314"]Not my immediate family (don't have any scanned photos at hand) but my cousin's. However we had the same upbringing, family outlooks and styles. Our clothes were made for us by our aunties who worked in the rag trade. It was rough. I better stop posting on this thread before I slit my wrists.

My brother shared a chopper and had good fun on it until he skidded on loose stones and got hit by a car.
He got away with a broken leg but the chopper was a goner.

Sturmey Archer gears that slipped. Brakes that always seemed to rub on one side. Spending all day doing skids on a sandy road, then getting in trouble with my dad for trashing the tyre.

In the 70s we were so poor we only had an old calendar to use as toilet paper. Thankfully those days are behind me now.
