It was a bloody ugly, heavy, folder that I never locked up, knowing that no one would ever steal it, and no-one ever did!!! I wanted a Raleigh Chopper damnit
I can relate... I wanted the Chopper, too! My parents
almost redeemed themselves with my next bike:
Mine was a little different than this one with a blue frame and a metallic red & blue coloured banana seat, but otherwise identical. The 3-speed IGH came with a sucky thumb shifter instead of the Chopper's cool, top tube-mounted console one. Still, I wish I'd kept both bikes!
