That's a beautiful bike!
I had one in metallic blue. I still remember the super thick foam seat. The three speed shifter was cool, like riding a motorcycle. The only disadvantage was when you hit a bump and accidentally changed gears. I also recall the bike was incredibly heavy. Ultimately, my bike was stolen while parked in the bike rack in front of the skateboard park. I had a metal chain lock with blue vinyl cover wrapped around the seat post for storage (boy, I sure was an idiot!)
Thanks for sharing your nice ride!

Re: 1979 Raleigh Grifter
I would like to buy your bike, it's exactly like the one I had, Please e-mail (pgshhall.linc@btopenworld.com), even if you know how I can get another one, but it has to be the same colour and everything, it's perfect:). Regards, Peter (Lincoln UK).
