Can't believe they said a Grifter was "like a BMX", they were 35lbs ! 
The only way to 'get air' with one was to let it out of the tyres....

A Grifter was like a BMX if you hid it behind a life size poster of a BMX.

You didn't live in Wales next to a clay pit !Can't believe they said a Grifter was "like a BMX", they were 35lbs !
That was a regular occurrence . I nearly broke neck going down a near vertical drop and off a ramp at the bottom.
I looked at it with my kids a few months ago and wondered why I had. I told my boy (9) what I used to do and he said " daddy, I know I shouldn't use this word , but that's just f**king stupid"

Raleigh Street in Nottingham? Used to live opposite the factory site. We were told the company was named after the street, and not the street after the company. Does anyone know if that is true?

Loved this show, Grifter and BMX can't be mentioned in the same sentence, those things weighed a ton...literally I think! haha
Loved seeing the Chopper I loved mine.
Raleigh Burner my 2nd BMX after my Piranaha, I loved my Burner that thing was utterly in-destructible, kids with other bikes used to take the mickey out of my Burner but I loved it, it so many good memories and summers spent on that bike.
Raleigh Activator my 2nd MTB after my Raleigh Mustang, I didn't like the Mustang but I loved the Activator shame it was stolen, people at the leisure centre watched a white van pull up and use bolt cutters on my bike chain, I went mental I was heart broken as I had saved for months to get it, I did get it returned, but it had been destroyed, it was the last Raleigh I owned.
