Raleigh Chicco - it would have been 1974 at a guess. Very "Clown's Bike" in retrospect. I suspect my mother chose something she felt in keeping with the neighbourhood, rather than anything too chopper! Being a twin, my brother got the same one, it must have looked very David Lynch sinister, seeing the pair of us riding towards you. It's amazing I carried on cycling. In later years as a desperate stab at rebellion my brother took off the mudguards and the chain guard, he's been like that in life ever since...
