Humber Chopper MK1 1971 March ( Humber Branded Raleigh Chopper ) Nottingham. Condition is Used. Dispatched with Royal Mail 2nd Class.
There are only 2 Humber Choppers that we know of and This is one of the 2. Both of them are here in the UK.
This bike was originally flamboyant green but the original owner painted it black in the 1980s.
I tried my hardest to strip off the black paint without destroying the original paint underneath but I failed
So I had no choice but to r...estore it. During the restoration I received a lot of help and support from the Chopper gurus. The winning bidder will be supplied with all original photos before and during restoration for record keeping. If this was a common Raleigh Chopper, I would not have cared so much in record keeping. But this is Humber They were sold to foreign market Independent ( non Raleigh) dealers.
During the restoration, I opted to go for Flamboyant lime colour, slightly lighter shade than the original flamboyant green.
As we know it, there are 2 in the world.
You could be the custodian of this. How exciting! If you are a Raleigh Chopper enthusiast.
The front wheel has dynohub, correct date matching to rear 3 speed hub. Not any old dynohub of any date stamp that you can buy plenty of.
Front brake blocks, I have them in storage. Pedals are in bubble wrap mounted on the frame.
If you have any questions, please ask away except how much will I accept ? That answer is EBay auction.
Good luck and all the best
