Some queued overnight to be the first in line at the Raleigh Experience Centre in Nottingham
Hundreds of bike enthusiasts turned out in the rain to get their hands on one of Raleigh's most iconic products. Thousands more queued online and waited for the website to go live at 12pm for their chance to purchase one of the brand new Raleigh Choppers, modelled on the iconic bike released in the 1970s.
It was an amazing turn out to mark the return of an eagerly anticipated bike which has become synonymous with the city. Managing Director Lee Kidger told Nottinghamshire Live: "It always surprises us because of the amount of people who have come here - but what it really highlights is the community of the Raleigh brand and the love for the product.
With original MK2 Choppers still selling for a fortune at auctions today, Raleigh fans have been demanding a new Chopper from the company for decades. And bringing the bike into 2023 has legally required a few minor tweaks, but the new Chopper is as close to the original as possible.
