the rear tyres a supergo! its got the same tread as a normal chopper but with a white wall tyre. The bike come from italy and has been rode around imola race track! I need a few bits for it so hopefully you lads can help me out ;D Im going to keep it original, just clean it up a bit. I will strip it down and list the parts i need. Its going to look good with my burner and grifters.  |

looks like you'll be needing some t-cut and autosol and some carling, carling !!!!!!! Tip for you: wire wheel in a drill, over the chain both sides and top and bottom before a bath in 3-in-1 oil, Far-be-it for me to tell you anything  .....................................but it works really well.  |

its looking good wayne, classic colour as well, always looked good in red with yellow decals, is the frame and decals staying original, it looks to be in good order in the photos, i can see another carling resto in progress, i knew you couldnt resist the charms of the mighty chopper |

your right col having looked at your lovley bikes and what with wazza,paul,john and brett all chipping away at me about how good the choppers are i just had to get one for my collection (after this i will want a mk1!)
Yes its staying original i just want to add some better parts to it then rebuild it. How can i not love the chopper its just a different shaped grifter! No matter how you look at it most bits are the same. ;D

well said, same factory, same people building them, same components, even the tubings the same (only the other way round), i really dont understand why grifter lovers hate choppers and the other way round, its a raleigh from the same era and the two are both icons of the 70s |
