Raleigh MK II

En natuurlijk ontbreekt de Raleigh MK II niet in onze collectie.

The Raleigh Chopper designed by Alan Oakley* became one of the most sought after bikes in history. Early Choppers were on sale in the late 60's but shot to fame in the 70's when every child (and some adults) wanted one. The bike was characterised by its high back and long seat and motorbike rear wheel and was probably the first bike to have a centrally positioned gear shift.

 

*Tom Karen is original designer.
