I had that exact bike. I got it for my birthday when I was 8, and I think it was the best present I ever got.
I spy someone across the road playing pocket billiards.I always wanted one of these, alas it wasn’t to be, didn’t get a Chopper either….
Loving that chain guard, reminds me of an old ‘Sterling machine gun’.Raleigh Commando, a poor kids Grifter.

Not my first bike but I also had a Peugeot racer in my very late teens, beautiful bike.Yellow Mk2 Chopper for me. Then progressed to a ten speed Peugeot racer in Celeste blue which I used to lovingly polish with Duraglit on a far too often basis. Loved that bike.
Weren’t they called ‘Rat trap pedals’ ?
This is a beautiful machine. If I owned this I’d mount it on the wall and stroke it everyday. :-)Not my first bike but I also had a Peugeot racer in my very late teens, beautiful bike.
