  • If I may say so, that is a pretty poor imitation of a Raleigh Chopper. Where's the gear lever??

    Fortunately entry is not compulsory.:D

    However, to answer your question:

    "The Mk3, in deference to modern safety concerns, adopts a more conventional saddle design to discourage "backies," and has dropped the groin-catching gear lever in favour of handlebar mounted gear controls – to commemorate this former feature the Mk3 has a sticker where once the lever had its place.";)
