Lot 50: A Black Raleigh Chopper Mk III Bicycle

A Raleigh Chopper Mk III bicycle, featuring ‘ape-hanger’ handlebars, a high-back sprung seat, and a small front wheel contrasted with a larger rear wheel, characteristic of the 1970s ‘chopper’ style. The frame displays “CHOPPER” in prominent white letters and “RALEIGH” branding on the downtube and seat post. It is equipped with a Sturmey-Archer 3-speed rear hub. A yellow sticker on the frame reads “THIS BIKE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR OFF ROAD USE” and references “BS6102/1.” The bicycle is constructed primarily of metal, with chrome accents and rubber tires featuring a red sidewall stripe.
