first- mk2 grifter £40. chainguard not broken, reflector missing off back of seat, bar pad reasonable, a bit is missing in the corners. original tyres, cracked. rest is just in average confition for ages, not mint, not terrible. some rust that polishes up ok.    second, original 50s schwinn cruiser. well, the frame, forks and chainguard are. dyno bmx bars and stem, 3g seat, new all black wheels with big fat slicks and cable operated hub brake on the rear. good nick but not mint, has a few scratches but needs nothing, a good fast ride. £80    can post either for around £20 |

I researched the frame number when I owned it and from memory I think it was a '57 model. It still had the dealer sticker on the frame somewhere when I had it I think. A shop in California somewhere supplied it new  |

That was me, I seem to remember delivering it somewhere up North (not Ipswich - you moved?) Not looking for a Grifter I'm afraid - just sold mine. Let mne know if the Schwinn deal falls through. |
