I am new to the Forum and would like to say hello. I owned a green Raleigh Chopper back in the late 60's to early 70's. It was my Favorite Bike growing up. It had the tall seat bar on the back with the short pad on top. I have been searching for a bike like my old one and thought the best way to find one would be on a forum like this. I have dug up some old photos of it and if everyone would like to see them I could post them? Thanks for having a GREAT forum like this for Raleigh Chopper Lovers...Bob

Hi Bob - welcome. Sounds like a Flamboyant green mk.1, the High back rest sissy bars are very nice! Would love to see pics.
Doug.

I have quite a few questions about these beautiful vintage bikes. How many different factory colors were available? Also These were available with 0 speeds,3 speeds and 5 speeds,is that right? I am sure being patient will help me in my search to find the right bike. I just know that I have an itch that needs to be scratched. Bob
