Thread: chopper or grifter

^ That would be good then.

Were you one of those wierdos who bought bikes with wheels so thin that a bottle top buckled the wheels.

Seat so thin and sharp that they cut into your arse. Like that advert.

Did you wear lycra?

Yes, thats me.
Tubeless tyres, 18 spoke wheels the full monty.
and fast with a capital F

Used to dream of having a bike.

I only had one of those big orange bouncy ball hopper things.

I had a chopper bike, but not until 1986. Our family were a bit soapy.

My missus played on one of those hopper things when we were back in the UK last year. Bounced around on it for hours.

Kept her amused.

This is obviously a forum where "spoilt" brat children end up!

You Lucky bstards, we rode what we stole, or nicked the bits to build our own bikes!

Grifters were the dogs bollocks

I had a boxer which looked similar to a grifter but smaller, then a chopper then a grifter, the grifter was the best of them.
