hi, new to all this but I had a brand new Raleigh chopper in 1971 and would love another one any condition or even just a frame as a starting point to relive my youth

I'd recommend getting a bike as complete as possible. Building one from a bare frame gets very expensive, believe me, I'm doing it now with a 1970 mk1. Welcome, by the way. |

Welcome to the forum.
Let us know what colour and how many speeds.
I'm sure you'll find one.
Good luck!

Was that the one on ebay in Nottingham? If so that was a great price, if I had the money I'd have bought it myself, it wasn't on long.

That's great. Ideal place to have it over Chrismas. Looked a really nice honest bike too.
