By Bike was nicked from the train station...
... last wednesday. It was my third Raleigh Grifter. I had to go to Southampton by train to get it and it cost the better part of £100 before the inflated fare. I loved that bike, I used to take it to the woods and run it down the steepest hills and do ALL the jumps and the kids at the rugby club thought it was well cool and... and... sniff :0(

I'm buying a new one and this time I'm fitting a modded Taser Lock (Soldering Iron + Evil Revenge filled Brain = Ha Ha Fucking Ha!!!)

Jumps?
I could never get my Grifter off the ground. It weighed a ton and were pretty much indestructable. Mine got hit by a car, and the car came off far worse.

I had a grifter
Heavy as fuck those things were. Probably why I developed child bearing hips in my early teens.

Welcome and click for reminding me to go and purchase a sodding grifter from somewhere.

I had a Grifter!
I had a Boxer as well, and another one that similar but god - not sure what that was called.

rose tinted glasses i think
grifters were proto-mountain bikes, minus the technology.m Made with reinforced cast iron, that made lifting it something of an olympic event.

I never had one, but instead a 10 speed racer that weighed probably just as much as a grifter.

Nope, certainly not.
I was given it when I was about 8 or 9 (I'm 31 now) by a now semi-famous Moto-X rider.

Nope, not that
It may not have been made by Raleigh, I can't really remember. I do remember the sticker on the frame was a bit like a skul lwith flames coming out the back, a bit like Ghost Rider.

Was it eastleigh by any chance?
Had my bike nicked from there a couple of times now.
