Actually, I had a Grifter XL... it was black, and red, and sexy, or so I thought in the shop.
Alas, as per all the other posts in this thread, yes it did have three gears, red green and yellow, and it had an irritating habit of slipping out of red and freewheeling, which nearly saw me under a passing car on more than one occasion.
And yes, I do believe the frame was constructed of solid cast iron, so heavy was it.
I still managed to crack the forks though; it didn't like wheelies and jumps, oh no. It was certainly not a BMX =)

Now I've seen it again, I've just realised what a fucking gay bike I had... =/
