Really glad to see one of these around. When I was a kid these were all the rage. You had a Grifter if you were hip, but a Raleigh Chopper if you were the daddy. Mine was orange and black.
A few differences between this baby, which I snapped in Maldon at the weekend, is that the banana seat isn't suitable for giving friends a ride on the back ("backies") and I think the wheels on the modern-day version are closer in size to one another than the original 70s model, which featured a much larger back wheel, if my memory serves.
