Mini Raleigh Cheong-per


Resized JPEG graphic

Found this cheong Raleigh Chopper last month. It is a direct copy of the original but a smaller size. Front wheel measures 12" (original:16"); rear wheel measures 16" (original: 20"). Unlike the original it does not come with 3 speed gear. This miniature bike is so cute I had to buy all three colours: green, red & grape! Shop owner said it is at least 35 years old. Hard to believe "cheong-ing" has been around then.
