A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.

Excellent!
Well done that man!
I must say though, his was modified too. That saddle? At least mine was the original saddle.
What chainset is that?
What's he done to the 'bars and the levers?
PS
That is a very late Chopper, note the rear dropouts where the back tubes meet them. Note the headset and the angle of the head tube.
Mine was a 1971 Mk1.

Yes, that was one of the first photographs of the Chopper when it was given to me. No chain either!

Those knitted shorts your wearing look like they might itch!!
Re: @MickF - Just showing off...
I have no wish to decry this fella's efforts but when I saw him featured on tv my first thoughts were of MickF and then that his bike is not an actual Chopper as many of us think of them but in fact was the later version ie no central gear change.
Was I wrong to think this because to me just like many BSO this to me is a CSO.
