Poseurs and pillocks had choppers.
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...

Re: Triumph Tiger 800
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.

I did too. I got a crappy Chinese bmx if I remember. So good one of the wheels snapped. It was a big jump mind. Those pics do bring back memories
