£1,680
Nottingham · As catalogued · small-wheel
Infra-red Mk2, banana seat intact, and the stick shift still on the top tube.
A 1972 Chopper in the infra-red that Nottingham actually shipped. Smaller wheel at the front, long seat at the back, and the gear lever where a child could reach it without looking down.
Paul Rennick kept it in a dry shed off the ring road. The whitewalls are later. The frame, the seat, and the shift are the bicycle he was given.
