Re: Grifter or Chopper
Boxers were great, mine was blue!! I was a bit too young for the choppers (being born mid 70's) and I went from the Boxer to a BMX (a Muddy Fox - awesome!!) and then onto a Huffy Mountain Bike my dad imported from the states.
I've just bought our oldest his first .... a buzz lightyear bike with soundeffects and stabilizers

Really wanted a Grifter, had a secondhand Tomahawk and was a very sad boy.
Actually looked on e-bay the other night to see if I could get one finally.

Re: Grifter or Chopper
If after 4 months anyones still interested, I had the tomahawk (little chopper) but then went on to a Bomber, possibly the first mountain bike?

Re: Grifter or Chopper
Lots of inexplicably deleted accounts on this thread. Often wonder what gives rise to that ...
