Choppers and boomer!

Get this finished to the point of being rideable so thought Iâ€™d share. Itâ€™s a Mk2 Raleigh Chopper from the 70â€™s with a ton of other bits and pieces. Bought a pile of rusty parts and decided to make myself something a bit different. Got a few finishing touches to do but am awaiting parts...fitting wheel spinners off a â€˜65 Corvette and orange chopper decals. Hope you like :-)

Looks awesome! As a lifelong fan of the Schwinn Stingrays, I can totally relate to this. Thanks for sharing!

What a corker, that is a proper chopper!

Thanks! Yeh the chopper was pretty much based on the Stingray so not too far different. :-)

Fantastic project. Looking at the dimensions of this bike, the rider is placed nearly over the back wheel. I bet it's a wheely machine!

Need some pictures of it outside with someone riding it to give it scale.

Yeh theyâ€™re known for their inclination to wheely! Weâ€™ve gone to the seaside today with the original chopper and this one so Iâ€™ll see if we can get some good pics

Great to see you enjoying the process of the build, I found it very cathartic during an otherwise pretty rough time.
