Grebel Posted September 5, 2012 Share If I'd known that they would be worth that much, I might not have ridden mine so hard when I was a kid...

DJR Posted September 5, 2012 Share There is a good reason for choppers being rare - they were killedoff by people like me that retaliated after they tried to kill us. Oh boy, do I remember that long downhill with the loose gravel, that stupid little front wheel starting to wobble and then a proper slide leaving plenty of skin behind. I still have the scar to show, after a bloody long time. If it was cheaper, I would buy one so I can drive my Landrover over it. javburg, fabes, (Deon) and 2 others 5 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/120312-chopper/#findComment-1771531 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delilah Posted September 5, 2012 Share Wow, what a weird-looking bike! Do people actually collect bikes just to have them? Because surely no potential buyer would want to ride that. Where would one keep/display this bike collection?? Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/120312-chopper/#findComment-1771579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockCoach Posted September 5, 2012 Share Wow, what a weird-looking bike! Do people actually collect bikes just to have them? Because surely no potential buyer would want to ride that. Where would one keep/display this bike collection?? It would be a great Critical Mass bike as would most retro rides. I'm actually pretty annoyed that I didn't keep at least one of my steel road bikes from the 90s to convert to a fixie.

LeTurbo Posted September 6, 2012 Share I've seen one listed for 3 500 Great British Pounds. I think Schwinn did make one. And somebody rode the 94.7 when I did it about two years ago.

Yeah, would be interesting to see one again, a Schwinn Chopper that is, one of the great bicycle brands of yesteryear!.
