well I have an opportunity to acquire a very cool Raleigh chopper bicycle thru a friend of mine and I have seen a issue that appears to be quite common with these
the rear frame where the sissy bar goes into the frame seems to be breaking a lot.
since I have seen this so many times I assume it is a common problem
the question I have is how can I resolve this issue? I am a large person and I doubt very much the frame will hold my weight so I do not want to spend the money on one just to turn it into a scrap pile with 1 ride.
anyone have any ideas?
Sean
