‘I was ten years old and owned a Raleigh Grifter.’

I had a Grifter between 1977 – 1979, there was only two colours available red and blue. Although the blue one eas a rare beast, the period i`m talking about was when Eddie Kidd and Evel Keneivel was around. We use to use ramps (just boards of wood and Bricks)to jump people and milk crates. Sadly the front forks snapped and thus no more, but they was very tough, even if i did get blisters on right palm by using the 3 speed gears, blue for first, yellow for secon and red for third. Pity they don`t make them no more.
