I bought a raleigh chopper on ebay in march 09, i was hugely satisfied with the deal i got, only used once, kept in a garage and still in pristene condition apart from a small amount of rust on the chrome. i bought it for only £80 when it was worth £300 when new,. I am a keen cyclist and it is impossible to hit high speeds on this bike, you feel super cool but it puts a lot of strain on the knees, the problem with the bike is it is so low, if you try to make the seat higher it still isnt high enough and you are still left with the same problem of hurting your knees. When i raised the seat, i had to raise the sissy bar but i raised it to the limit, someone pulled on the sissy bar and that bent a part of the framework and it it only minor damage but it isnt AS cool. The gear change is realy smooth and quick and the handling is sharp and energetic due to the smaller front wheel. its an iconic bike but it was obviously made again for practical reasons, but it isnt practical, so they are mostly show bikes and your better off buying a different retro bike that actually works! i wouldnt call it a rip off for the price i got it buy £300 IS a rip off, i havent ridden mine in months and it sits there in a corner in my room acting as a waste of space.
