The Raleigh Chopper bicycle, with its Harley Davidson-style handlebars, high-back saddle and oversized chunky back wheel, became a symbol of youth culture in the 1970s.

Raleigh has announced it is relaunching the iconic Chopper bike which rocketed to popularity in the 1970s. At present, the original MK2 Choppers are still selling for a fortune at auctions.

The Raleigh Chopper, with its odd-sized wheels and tall handlebars, was the classic bike every child wanted in the '70s and '80s. Harry Potter, of Barmouth, Gwynedd, would be the envy of them all.
