Lot 100: A Raleigh The Hot One Special Edition Chopper Bicycle

A contemporary Raleigh Chopper bicycle, identified as The Hot One Special Edition. The bicycle features a red painted frame with a split top tube and characteristic high-rise ape hanger handlebars. The drivetrain consists of a 6-speed Shimano derailleur system operated by a twist-grip shifter on the right handlebar. The staggered wheel configuration comprises a smaller front wheel and a larger rear wheel, both fitted with black mudguards. Seating includes a primary saddle and a high-back sissy bar with a padded backrest, both upholstered with flame-motif graphics. The frame features several legible decals: the top plate is printed with THE HOT ONE above flame graphics, followed by CHOPPER and SPECIAL EDITION; the main tube bears the word CHOPPER in a stylised font; and the vertical tube and chain guard are marked RALEIGH and THE HOT ONE. A head tube badge features a stylised R and the name RALEIGH. The derailleur is marked SHIMANO, and the crank arm bears a circular blue and white logo featuring the letter B. The bicycle is fitted with front and rear V-brakes, a rear reflector mounted to the sissy bar, a front reflector, and a kickstand.
