Hello, I'm Ken from England. I have four Choppers. I have restored quite a few choppers and still have more to do. Here are my four bikes:

This is my November 1970 MK I Raleigh Chopper. 


This is a very early Mark II Raleigh Chopper, March 1972 which is about the time they began to make the MK II. Note it is what is known as a "crossover" bike because it has MK I brake levers and a snowflake chain wheel. It is in original paint but with new decals


This is my January 1973 Raleigh Chopper which was originally Ultra Violet (purple). It is pictured here at Liverpool Docks


This is my hybrid January 1979 Prismatic Chopper. I have rebuilt it with a Sturmry Archer S5.1 hub giving 5 gears which these bikes never had. It has a toggle chain going into both sides of the rear axle and a split gear shifter lever. It is my distance bike.


If you need any advice or can offer me any I'd be pleased to help or learn.
