Raleigh Chopper Handbook

In 1969 the infamous Raleigh Chopper was introduced to the market and a whole new segment of the market was opened up, both in the UK and other developed markets; toy cycles. The Chopper sold an incredible 1.5 million units! It was quickly apparent that a follow up to the popular Chopper was needed, and so the Raleigh Grifter was born.

We are happy to answer technical questions by email but please:Do not write or phone us to ask the age or value of your bike.All of the information we have on that is on this Web page or on Also see.Note that the serial number information below is fragmentary and incomplete, and many bikes have proven to be much newer than the serial numbers would suggest. It appears that Raleigh recycled many of the older serial numbers in later years, so there are lots of bikes from the 60s and 70s that have serial numbers that would suggest much greater age.Note that the serial number information below is fragmentary and incomplete, and many bikes have proven to be much newer than the serial numbers would suggest.

Almost all English 3-speeds have Sturmey-Archer rear hubs. Sturmey-Archer was a division of Raleigh, made many different models since 1902, and were still in business until October, 2000. The company was sold to a group of money manipulators who shut it down in hope of making a quick profit by selling off the assets. The Taiwanese company Sunrace bought the equipment, stock and rights to the name and is back in business.Most older Sturmey-Archer hubs have two or three-letter model codes, which are usually stamped onto the hub shell.

Conveniently, they also usually have the month and the last two digits of the year of manufacture stamped onto the shell. This is the easiest way to date a 3-speed bicycle, if it has its original rear wheel.1888-1925Prior to 1925, genuine Raleighs (not necessarily brand names made by Raleigh) had a straightforward numerical frame number. Early years have been estimated by the Company. (Info from the Nottinghamshire Archives)Note that the serial number information below is fragmentary and incomplete, and many bikes have proven to be much newer than the serial numbers would suggest.

It appears that Raleigh recycled many of the older serial numbers in later years, so there are lots of bikes from the 60s and 70s that have serial numbers that would suggest much greater age. 1888: 15001889: 32001890: 52001891: 76001892: 105001893: 139001894: 191001895: 253001896: 321001897: 399131898: 459811899: 540321900: 651521900: 698681901: 773421902: 896221903::::::::::::::::::::::: -Second World WarBetween 1925 and the cessation of cycle production during the Second World War, letters prefixed or suffixed the running frame number although no indication is given of the starting point of the numbers. They seem to reflect only the number of machines produced whilst each letter was in use. All dating would therefore be approximate.

(Info from the Nottinghamshire Archives)1925: A11925: B341811926/27: B565361929: E156931930: G947851933: L846821934: T939451934: U145401935: W711471936: W931611937: Y184552Post Second World War - 1955After the war, Raleigh began adding letters after the running number series which restarted when a new letter was used. (Info from the Nottinghamshire Archives)1947: 437689 P1948: 556894 P1949: 695051 P1951: 151179 T1952: 236530 T1953: 367369 T1954: 566722 T1955: 747951 T1956: 852312 T1957: 872584 T1955 - 1966A new numbering system was introduced in 1955, though this ran concurrently with the old one for two years. The new system involved a second running letter, added to the first, which began at the start of the alphabet.1956: 23839 A1957: 27227 AB1958: 17910 AD1960: 27273 AE1961: 13126 AF1965/6: 40814 FD1966: 64521 FENote: Some of the mid-60's straight gauge 531 frames had serial numbers starting with a single letter which was towards the end of the alphabet.1967 - 1973Yet another number system was introduced in 1966.

This new system applied to the high-end (i.e. Reynolds 531) frames, and involved the placing of a character at the beginning of the serial number.

The character began at the start of the alphabet, and indicated year of manufacture. Detail about the numerals that follow the alphabet are sketchy, and are presumably sequential serial numbers of some kind.1966: A, followed by four numerals1967: B, followed by four numerals1968: C, followed by four numerals1969: D, followed by four numerals1970: E, followed by four numerals1971: F, followed by four numerals1972: G, followed by four numerals1973: H, followed by four numeralsNote: While this numbering scheme is generally true, there may have been some crossover use of letters at the beginning/end of each year (e.g.

A 'G' serial number may have been built into a bike in 1973, but the frame may have been built in 1972).1974 - 1980'sIn 1974, an entirely different numbering system was introduced for the higher end (531 and subsequently 753) Raleighs. Serial numbers should begin with a 'W', which stands for Worksop, the facility that produced these frames.

This is followed by another alphabet. This alphabet indicates the fortnight in which the frame was built (i.e. A = 1st fortnight, B = 2nd, etc.). The third character is always a numeral. It indicates the year of manufacture, the decade being assumed (i.e. '4' could be '74 or '84; it is up to the interpreter to know enough to tell if the frame is from the 70's or 80's).

What then follows is a series of numbers. At this point, these appear to be some sort of sequence, but this has not been substantiated. American made Raleighs manufactured in Kent, Washington, By Derby Cycle Sample number: R 0 033 1 0123 A.
