$630.64
Forget your mk1 highboy and your mk2 10 speed choppers.Here is 1 of only 36 pre production mk3 Choppers ever made which makes it very rare.
Never available to the public only various dignitaries like this one owned by a member of the Chopper mk3 design team.
What makes it different to production model?
The frame has no strengthing brace at the crank, the front mudguard is a different design, the decals are smaller and slightly different.
The handlebars are a different finish, all these design features were changed on the production models.
This rare Chopper is a must for any collection not only is it rare it has serious provenance as Mr Lees one of the 3 person design team owned this very bike, given to him by Raleigh to campaign prior to the release of the mk3.
On 19-Nov-18 at 07:11:34 GMT, seller added the following information:
I have been asked about the provenance for this bike.
I have written confirmation from John Lees that this is the bike he owned.
He goes on to say that there were only 35 as the chopper with the decals on upside down was removed from the line up.
Would be nice to locate that one.....
