Nice retro rides  Had a few grifters in my younger days, did Raleigh somehow invent BMX with the grifter before BMX's really made it ?  i know they are more like cruisers but chunky tyres and a durable frame and big wide bars and big seat is all a kid needs  you don't even get a wet ass! |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

Grifters are the Shiz - Is that an XL with metal guards? Mine was black with red guards. Also had a Striker (sort of small Grifter) and a Bomber which noone else had. It was green with fake plastic forks. No matter what we did on those bikes they NEVER broke! Raleigh ruled the world in 1985!
BTW I have never been able to wheelie better than I did on my Budgie, nothing could beat it!

super jealous of the burners and the lowriders !! I'm currently trying to build a lowrider-style bike to go with a polo that I've just acquired. Do you know of any lowrider forums so I can get some inspiration/information ? I also have an 80's Joe Waugh road bike and a Fly Pantera bmx.

Not quiet retro (But different) My other half and I have a tandem and it was getting very tatty Tandem looked like this (stripped down)  Needed a refurb Frame shot blasted and powder coated (like I'd do anything else) New chains cables etc etc Started putting it together yesterday - had to go to Diss to pick up some parts but finished 5pm ready to cycle 5 miles to watch "Van Morrison" in the forest - didn't put a foot wrong 30 mins to get there 25 mins to get home :lol: (5 miles but some big hills) Anyway what it looks like now it's finished  PS Note cat in picture is alive and well - just stupid!!!    |
