I had one of those plastic beer mat things or a quenchy cup(anyone remember them? ). In saying all this I had a grifter, with a cool electronic horn that had a button you attached next to the grips on the handlebars....man those were sturdy bikes B)

What&#39;s a Grifter?

I&#39;ve never heard of that term being applied to a bicycle before.

[(>Zero Cool<)]

&#39;Model of bicycle manufactured by Raleigh during the 1970s, midway between the Chopper and BMX in fashion chronology, but lacking the distinction of those two models. The Grifter line (largest to smallest) was: Grifter, Striker, Boxer.UK&#39;

Hey.. thats a pretty funky lookin&#39; bike&#33;
Very much like a precursor to the BMX...

Thanks for that Zero.
