Why....

I don't normally comment on this sort of thread, one mans cheese, another mans onions... well something like that.

I'd rather go to prison than buy one.

I liked the repop choppers, I know the the H&S/Bull carp Raleigh went through to make it happen.

but why cancel it all out with this?

retro colours/styles on a retro looking bike, yep, ok

dog sick on a chopper, no way.

JT - is yer colour blind

Raleigh should just shut down.Everything they`ve put out over the last few years has been over-priced tat.Perhaps they`re in cahoots with SE Racing

A white Chopper could've worked imo although not a colour used BITD but that's gone way too far.

it doesn't even have a chopper seat FFS

my favourite part of the listing...

"Deliveries Will have a tracking number and Can be Deliveried to an Alternate Address ( Relations, Work address Etc ), So you don't spoil the Surprise!"

someone's in for a treat

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #18 on:** November 09, 2011, 10:13 AM »

and hopefully they will only ride it around in the lounge and not outside - which would spoil it for us

theRuler · « **Reply #19 on:** November 09, 2011, 01:00 PM »

Shit back then, still shit today.

Had a temporary period of "coolness" in the 90's, until people realised once again, that they are shit.

In fact the new one has plumbed new depths of shitness.

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #20 on:** November 09, 2011, 07:05 PM »

bollocks

we all were going to club together and get you one for X-mas

Raleigh seem to miss the target on most of there new born bike

old retro bmx's like the super tuff missed with parts and paint work

new school Raleigh bmx was a big miss

and the retro chopper was crap for the seat and gear change

and now to add insult they think kids will want it if they paint it shite colours

Most kids round our way had grifters before the BMX craze took off. Only problem was that the forks were very weak and snapped easily if you were fond of pulling wheelies or jumping. Raleigh should have used Strika style forks on the Grifter - they looked like Moto-X forks and had to be a lot stronger than Grifter forks. That would have been great.
