Two non-Carltons

[Spokesmann]

A couple of carpet dwellers. The Mk2 Chopper dates from 1977 and has had shed loads spent on it to make it near show standard.
The Mk3 was a buy from about 5 years ago when Raleigh launched the revised Chopper - always wanted one as a kid so I couldn't resist it!.

Not everyone's cup of tea but it is retro!

niiice always wanted to see what it was like riding one of them

they are spankingly clean! and the red one is classic retro

The Mk3 is about half the weight of the Mk2 Im sure!! Aluminium frame and proper brakes too!

Mk3 has a twist grip gear change, the Mk2 has the T-shift. Mk1s has a proper knob!!
