Smallest to largest, I think it was Raleigh Striker, Boxer then Grifter? I seem to remember the Strikers being yellow, the Boxers blue and Grifters red, but I'm sure that was just down to the kids that lived near me than some limited choice of colurs.
I'd totally forgotten about the shifter window and those bloody handlebar grips on the Grifter. It always felt like such a massive bike, it's a bit disappointing when you see how wee they are now

The Grifter is completely standard, the saddle is correct for a Grifter XL. It is still a HEAVY bike, much heavier than the bomber. All the weight of the Grifter is to the rear so will pop wheelies at will

I think the XL is the best Grifter. As the adjustable bars and narrow seat give a better riding position.
Ive had a few Grifters. I got an XL at the local auction for £1. Fixed the mudguard stay and thrashed around on it for a couple of weeks. Sold it for £20.
Still got a Grifter that Im supposed to be doing up. But havent done anything to it for months.

I want to restore the XL but think I'll wait until the winter, the decals are £30, might not sound like much but that is more than I paid for the bike! Still as it is all there, think that is pretty much all I'll need to spend, depending on how I paint the frame
yes decals can be expensive.
The Grifter I have now. I was wanting XL graphics for it.
It was a red Grifter originally.
I got stars and stripes stickers from ebay for a low price. There not supposed to be any good though.
Got 20" alloys on 3 speed hub. Raleigh Max forks. Alloy Sidepull front brake and a centrepull rear. With BMX bars in an SR BMX stem.
Have you seen the Grifter Forum on Aceboard.
