thanks thats kind of you. i will try that next time i go over to mi parent’s place it would be wicked to ride round london on my old bomber

If the pedals/crank just go round, then chances are the hub has siezed in neutral.. Its happened to me before and i have pulled the gear lever toward the bars, (1st) and put the bike upside down and pedal it with your hand. Then gently tap the chain side of the rear axle/hub setup and usually itll drop into a gear… then pop the oil cap off the hub (between the spokes) and oil it up and take it for a ride… should free it up… choppers are all the same size more or less

thanks frend. yeah that sounds promising . . . when you try and pedal my old bomber last time i tried the pedals just go around without even causing the back wheel to go around but i’ll check out that forum you mentioned. also i’m just curious man – which Raleigh Chopper model would be ride-able for someone who is 6 foot tall (me) . . . ?? are they actually?

Id try raleighactionbikes forum (google it) but the forum is still taking off so its not the fastest in the world… theres alot of knowledgeable people on these bikes there tho…. should be able to help you out… as for gears.. they only had 3 speed sturmey archer.. many old bikes could be stripped for those parts… unless you had the rarer 5 speed…
November 2nd, 2010 at 9:32 pm
wow thats really cool. i still have mi old bomber tho it needs new gears and stuff. do you know anyone who revamps these old bikes??

@stompingrounds88 although i think the chopper looks better than the stingray (stingray looks a bit girly) the stingray was the influence for the chopper… even raleigh had said that.
In regards to schwinn i much prefer the earlier skiptooth stuff… its in its own league… nothing can compare to that.. no one offered anything remotely like it…
November 2nd, 2010 at 10:49 pm
Ur right, it dosen’t have a stingray flare, its way better than that

No sorry, they belong to my mate Sean who lives in East Anglia, they only came out of his loft for a TV show.

This jus keeps on getting funnier. Ok so your sopposeably a mature middle aged man, so with this in mind how bout you tell me what is so offensive to you guys about me saying the raleigh is a copy of schwinn? seriously, cause all i can see is you guys getting wound up by the opinion of a ‘little girl’, as you call me. ive loved these bikes ever since i was a kid, and that ain’t gonna change given the mouth of a 44 year old. so ill jus carry on sucken on lolly pops riding my schwinn round town
November 3rd, 2010 at 12:50 am
Maybe you should stick to commenting on LIP
STICK and LOLLY POPS little girl
Go copy avril lavein or paris hilton
November 3rd, 2010 at 1:19 am
WOW i’ve really got under your skin….if im jus a kid why are you even arguing with me, surely my juvenile manner wouldn’t even put a dent in your armour. All i said was that the Raleigh is a copy, and you’ve jus freaked the hell out haven’t you. what does skateboarding or ships have to do with any of this….im not claiming i know anything from back then, how could i? so how bout we jus end this argument? a middle aged man arguing with a teenage girl about…..i dont even know what anymore

November 3rd, 2010 at 1:49 am
i think you seriously needs to chill, i wasnt trying to belittle your statement. So how bout you listen up GRANDAD as you so poeticly stated, im to young to know shit…..people like you make me sick…..jus because i wasnt there in the begining i have no right to appreciate it OR EVEN HAVE AN OPINION. the raleigh chopper is a nice bike, but it is just my opinion that the schwinn krates are better, and it’s fact that without schwinn there would be NO raleigh chopper
