Welcome to Bananaseatriders.nl
The chopper bike, recognizable by its long front fork, the iconic 'banana seat' saddle, and the high sissy bar. A symbol of rebellion and pure style straight from the 70s.
We are THE Chopper Community Netherlands
Are you the proud owner of a legendary Raleigh Chopper, a robust Kalkhoff, a rare Hercules, or a nostalgic Sparta Easyboy?
Or are you simply infatuated with the unique design of these iconic high-risers from the 70s and 80s?
Congratulations, you have just found your new home base on Bananaseatriders.nl
We fill the missing link in Dutch cycling culture.
Where classic bike clubs stop and modern custom cruisers end, we celebrate the rebelliousness, the brutal looks, and the pure restoration craftsmanship of the vintage chopper bike.
Together, we take these icons out of the shed and bring them back into the spotlight, and of course, back to the street.
