My mum and dad couldn't afford a new grifter, I ended up with a second hand chopper when my Raleigh Striker was knicked.

Does that count? It was a mini grifter... :)

I had a grifter and put BMX forks on it.

I really really wanted one of these but my dad wouldn't let me as it didn't have any gears.
