This was the same model and colour of the Raleigh Chopper that I ride to school in the 76s. Those days it cost RM265.00 ( a normal Ah Soh bike was only RM65.00 then ). This is already the Mark 2, second edition. You can differentiate it because Mk 2 has the handlebar swept forward. I saw one or two in Mudah.my but they were not complete and mostly have the their gear box missing. They are selling it for quite a sum as well. For those really who really wants attention, I can bet you, you will get the most attention if you ride one , refurbished in Car Free Day. Guaranteed! Bromptons are getting too common nowadays. The 3 speed Sturmey Archers are not a problem as they are not very much different from those in Brompton nowadays. But Sturmey Archer has been taken over by a Taiwanese company already so they are not made in UK anymore.



This is the Mark 1. Higher rear which was useless actually, maybe carry another friend at the back    But if we sit too far back to recline, the front of the bikes comes up very fast!



And last year, Raleigh did a small production of limited units to satisfy the request of many former Chopper riders. Only last year they did it in limited numbers. But they looked different.

To all the Dahon classic sifus......to mod or not?

Stainless steel Dahon California with 3 speed Sach hub.

Add original rear mudguard and all that its need 😁

Have been thinking of getting 2 more foldies (husband and wife lah as usual) , just for strolling around Taiping and maybe Komuter-ing to Butterworth and Penang. I saw 2 of this Giant Halfway being sold in Ipoh and since my MTBs are Giant, was thinking of getting the same brand.    Haven't check the price yet but they fold more narrower than Dahon or Tern because the Giant Halfway has monostay and monofork, meaning the chainstay is only one sided and so is the fork!   Probably won't be modding as well because Taiping is practically flat and if I need for hill rides, still have the velos and mtbs.

I still have mine. Unfortunately, it is way too low geared. Mine uses freewheel so I couldnt find a replacement with a 11t sprocket. I hope they have improved the bike after all these years. It is a solid bike but heavy.

According to the Giant dealer in Ipoh, the last batch was 8 speed, then they switch back to 7 speed    So there is an 8 speed which I can convert to 10 or 11 speed too if you get the latest cogs that have 11 speed on a 8,9 or 10 speed hub. The mono sided hubs makes modding to more gears difficult. If you are looking for 7 speed,  11 tooth freewheel sprocket,  Epoch makes them.
