Sadly, no. But am about to search eBay for one. I had a gold one with a Grifter Plus saddle. I once rode it through rather than up a quarterpipe. Bikes were bikes in those days.

Sadly though I'm more of a Raleigh Burner fan...

Here are some of my builds...

i learned to ride a bike without stabilisers on a raleigh burner. it was amazing, although at the time all i wanted was a mountain bike with gears.

old too, i think it was my dads before me. that single gear made it a bastard to get up hills at that age.

I have just spent far too long getting all misty-eyed on a Grifter forum. I'd be too big for it anyway.

He should have picked Euan. It was horrorshow from Tim there.

Euan is a tiny little Gimp.

You're right Mike. I'm surprised at how many trumpets there were at Doogfest, though.

Cheers dude, Not OGk.... although they were pretty decent, but 5 spoke are Skyway mags & 7 Spoke are Simplex mags

These bikes are worth a pretty pennie now... the top one is a pro spec build... sold that and bought my classic 30 and Jag. :lol:

Are the spoke ones z-rims? Man, i used to love skyways with white wall tyres. I had a Puch Magnum with yellow OGK's, then a stripped Raleigh SuperBurner. I nearly bought a Mongoose at one point but did'nt bother in the end, my mate had a Haro Freestyle which was mint. God, im getting misty eyed now.
