- Raleigh Grifter
Ah, the fable old grifter, mine's a super grifter in black and gold with only one gear working at the moment. I have owned the bike for the past 8 years and is a very reliable well made bike with a weight close to that of the Honda C90 (or so im told as i,ve only ever riden the cb100 so i'll take there word for it!) I have had many adventures on the grifter including long journeys of 15 miles + and a spot of mountain biking which nearly ended in disaster when i was ascending down a step hill picking up speeds close to about 30mph!!!. Then all of a sudden as i jumped a small bump and landed the handle bars came lose and i lost control. By a quick response i managed to stop the weighty grifter by jamming all the brakes on! SO A WORD OF ADVISE DON'T GO MOUNTAIN BIKING WITH THE GRIFTER!!! I still says shes the best bike i ever rode nothing compares for sure comfort and build quality!
