Yep, stick shift, not someone getting confused with the old down tube shifters, but a genuine stick shift

Wouldn't want to slip off the seat

I used to have one of those on my Raleigh Chopper when I was a kid (70s). Only 3 gears.

Actually it was a Taiwanese knockoff - it was called a hopper.

I guess that's why the seat's on that angle then.

On the seat post tube where it has the decal, what does it say?

Many injuries were had with those type of shifters. Sorry boys but it is true!

Just had a nasty vision: those two spherical objects on the levers - are they OEM or the result of a sudden stop!

Cheers,

Repco Dragster with 3 speed Suntour Tbar. We went everywhere together.

Does anybody know what the second lever was s'posed to do?
