Just picked up a 1978 Mk2 Chopper to go with my 1303, don't know what my wife will say when she sees it in the lounge I used to own a Grifter, but always wanted a Chopper but my parents wouldn't let me have one

That's sweet. Never seen a yellow one, both of mine were red. Had a MK1 and MK2, only difference I noticed was the gear shifter, but I was inly 10 at the time ;D

I've never seen a yellow mk2 before. My cousin had a yellow (well, more of a mustard colour really) mk1, with the super-rare high-back seat.

recently sold 2 of my grifters, only got 'Stretch' left now, a bodged up one i bought at Bug Jam with extended forks and laid back seat, it rides bloody awful but looks really weird. i want a beach cruiser with a basket on the front for my tinnies.

Cool! Not quite as retro...but I'd quite like a Nirve 'chopper': They've got a pretty cool line up of choppers and cruisers...including a couple of Barris ones!: www.nirve.com/main/cruiser/line.asp

i had a purple mk2 5speed which i sold last year as i was broke, i then bought a mk3, which i sold because i was broke. I then bought a Schwinn Stingray ..ok its a kids bike so i modified it! removed and smoother rear mud guard mounts, stand and front brake lugs. Resprayed satin black, pasific coast choppers ape hangers and springer seat, and i made 2 seatposts 1 with about 4" of layback to get some strech. Proper sweet cruiser for about £250! as you may have guessed i sold it at the beginning of summer because i was broke!
