four choppers and a box

[carter]

Well its actually three REAL choppers, a dodgy remake and a box! I didnt have a chopper back in the day, i always thought they looked crap, i was into grifters and bmx's at the time and that big wheel, little wheel looked odd but over time, ive found a fondness for this real raleigh and my story starts a couple of years back. The first one i got was the 2006 red remake thing, i won it for the right money and it was an unwanted, unridden xmas prezzie (you wouldnt have heard that in the 70's). I remember getting it back and thinking how i wished i had a REAL chopper, so next came the black prizzie, i won it at the last second and when i picked it up, i was really chuffed, it was totally original and unmessed with (happy days). A few months went by and i noticed a fizzy lemon on ebay, it was described as mint but thinning down collection as moving abroad, had to be worth a bid and to my surprise i won it, i went quite a way to pick it up and what greeted me was a huge collection of mint choppers in a central heated garage well pampered, and i was stunned at how mint this bike really is, its the best colour scheme by far and was well worth it. The next was THE BOX !! i saw an ad for a white boxed unopened gift so it was worth a look, i couldnt believe they didnt know it was a limited edition ben sherman and they bit my hand off at my £80 offer . So that brings me to the latest one ive got, it was an impulse buy as it was fairly local (halifax) it was sensible money, totally original and it was the colour everyone remembers A RED 77
