    Sadly, Alan Oakley, designer of the ball breaking Raleigh Chopper has passed away. He was 85.

    Brilliant bikes them. Dangerous as **** though. Lost count of the amount of unintentional wheelies left me with a split napper.

    This must be a modern re-make. The originals had the gear shifter on the frame that burst your sack every time you hit the breaks hard and slid of the stupid seat. Always worse if you were going two's up (if you know what I mean).

    The split seat is wrong too.

    It didn't pay to slam on the brakes too quickly!
