That's the probably the same guy I used to spray them for as he was from Mansfield area.
Was never a fan of the chopper when I was young I had the boxer, striker then the grifter.
Was a brilliant bike for wheelies though :thumb2
Happy restoring mate.

I had one of those in the 70's, got it new one Christmas, it was a 5 speed, and looked like the same colour as yours. It was quite rare, god how I wish I had kept it :o

I was told by my parents that they were dangerous :doh

Those were the days when you didn't answer back because it hurt :lol

I too wanted one when I was a youngster, I remember being envious of a mate that had a brand new black one with flames on the chain guard. My mom had a rare gold one I believe that my granddad got for her as he worked at Raliegh.
