The iconic Raleigh Chopper is Pigeonholed

PictureThis Raleigh Chopper is in much better shape than the old git on it!
I dropped into the Pigeonhole in Daventry today, which to be fair is not that unusual an occurrence. What is most unusual is to find a vintage, mint conditioned Raleigh Chopper for sale. The beauty you see pictured (the bike not me) is as spotless as it was the day it left the factory; the detailing is perfect everywhere and I have to be honest, I would dearly love to own it. Priced at £695, it isn’t cheap but then again these things are highly collectible; I can’t think of a more iconic bike to represent seventies youth than the Chopper. And, believe it or not, the sale price represents good value for money.

As I understand it, the bike has been restored; the chap that did it clearly skilled. Paul Bowditch, Pigeonhole’s proprietor was kind enough to let me sit on the bike, take some pictures of me doing it and even email them to me afterwards too.

It's about time the Chopper was pictured on my site - if only I’d been wearing some seventies gear at the time! 

In return for Paul's kindness, this post promoting Pigeonhole and advertising this great bike. Christmas is coming – if you are looking for a present to buy the loved one in your life; this bike could be perfect.  But you had better be quick – I bet this thing won’t hang around for long.
