I can back that up. I had one and it once threw me on my forehead at speed with the death wobble. Or so I'm told, I have no memory of the crash. Other than that it was a sweet bike.
I grew up in central London and the the colour of the Chopper you owned was a reflection of how wealthy your parents were. I bugged my dad for over a year about buying one. I eventually managed to get him down to the bike shop and ended up with a bloody Raleigh 18 girls bike because it was £5.00 cheaper. I never lived it down and I am certain the experience left me scarred - to this day I blame it for my lust for beautiful bikes!
all things being equal... a lighter bike will make the same person faster.
I'm sure Peyton Manning can beat me in a game of football if his ball weighed 4 times as much also.
Cool that he's mashing it up the hill trying to raise money tho.
