Raleigh tried to relaunch a limited edition Chopper in 2004, but it never really took off. I suspect the same fate will befall this new incarnation. However misty-eyed you may feel about these odd little bikes, the brutal truth is that they were never very good at their job of getting you from A to B. No amount of vintage-fetishising nostalgia can paper over such basic design issues, however idiosyncratic the Chopper may have been.
