Hello evrybody!

Hi guys,
I'm Wim from Belgium, I'm 16, and i just bought my Raleigh Chopper MK2 a week ago,
it was verry rusty and now i'm cleaning it
i have allmost the whole bike stripped, except the sissy bars
the sissy bars are really rusted in and i have problems with getting them out of the frame, maybe some tips?
Greetings from Belgium

Hi Dude welcome to the forum

If that was my bike ill just free up the seasy bars and ride it





As for the sezzed sissy bars soke it in some deseal for some time and use an blank of wood in between the sissy bar and twist from side to side. Hope this helps

ok, i will try it
i just searched it up and my bike is from februari 1980.
its a black one with golden gearshifter.
the only thing i'm sad about is that i dont have the typical 'R'nuts

Is she like this

well, I dont know because the stickers are almost away but i will look closely to the rests of the stickers if i can see something like that

i cant see it if it is a black prismatic
but he's from 1980 and he has a golden shifting thing,
so i think thats the evidence that he is a black prismatic
the sissybars wont come out so i have to leave them on it
i will clean them good and then cover them good if i repaint the frame,
i have to scour evrything with sandpaper because i cant sandblast it with that sissy bars on it =/

The bike will fill hard to ride with out the sissy bar moveing it don`t fill nice to ride

I have an puprle one witch is stuck and my black one fill like an Rollels Royce comepare to the puprle one


Only way now is to get someone to sit on the chopper and get an planck of wood an smake it with an hammer with the planck on wood

i tried evrything
i hung my frame at the ceiling and i hung on the bars while my dad hit it with a hammer,
i tried evrything, 3 days, 7 times a day, i sprayed antirustspray on it.
nothing helped.
but i will cover it good when i respray the frame,
and i dont worry about it that my seat is too low,
i love it low :d
like a real lowrider xD
