Does that mean the one i got last year was a fake?

Its looks identical to a Raleigh Chooper. Is it a posh version??

Its a Chopper wanabe. Different (oval) downtube, bars, forks, chaingourd &c. Very interesting. The forks are identical to those found on the Phillips Mayflower from the same period. Raleigh rebranded the Chopper as manufactured by Rudge for certain markets such as South Africa and Rhodesia. Could it be a Phillips? I dont know when Raleigh aquired Phillips. Would love to inspect the headbadge and give the saddle a sniff.

Popular in Halfords when I was a kid (I'm around her age)

The Tracker replaced the chopper, I think, and was itself replaced by the Grifter.

I'm not a hundred per cent about this.

 please pretend there's a horizontal line here. I couldnt work out how to put one in.

I think the Chopper and Grifter were around at the same time. The Grifters wheels were the same size and the bike had more of a BMX look to it, but before BMX was around.

Pretty certain that the Grifter came after the Chopper ?

Mickle · May 2007

The grifter replaced the Chopper. The Chopper was to the Schwinn Stingray as the Grifter was to a BMX, ie a rather poorly designed and manufactured boat anchor based on a Raleigh Twenty/ Shopper. I am at least 327.5% sure that Dianas ride is not a Raleigh.

Very easy to wheelie. I could go all the way down Greengate Lane. A lovely bike.
