brought the 1971 3+2 mk1 chopper out of storage, cleaned and polished, Install correct sturmey archer
dyno lights purchased nos.
This is my 1971 raleigh chopper 3+2 that I purchased off ebay as a basket case. the rear sturmey archer S5 hub is dated 11 71 and the front dyno hub is dated 10 71. This is a late 71 or early 72 mk1. It has mk2 non-adjustable handlebars, mk2 frame dropout , no seat springs (69 style). The original console was busted but I was lucky to find a nos one w/correct 71 foil. The paint was ruff but the bike was complete. I have only seen 2 of this year chopper. Seat was original and in great shape,
how much
ReplyDeleteit would have to be a lot for me to part with it
DeleteI have a lot of work and cash in it
Hi Steve!
ReplyDeletehat is a great bike! Am I right in thinking Horizon Blue was the rarest colour?
I think its pretty rare, seems yellow,orange, black most popular
DeleteI have that exact bike but in orange that I got in 1971 and it is all original even has the slick tire on the back and the dyno front hub also . Bike is still just like it came from the bike shop. Mine needs to be restored but I think it is in excellent shape for its age and can still pull it out of the shed and ride it

ReplyDeleteI have seen one in orange, can you send pics? would love to see?
