I used to love my stars and stripes grifter but Bombers have a special place in my heart
As I write this I have a bluechrome one and a standard black one

The black one is now stripped down and is gonna be powder coated
Not sure what I'm gonna do with the blue one yet  

One thing's for certain, I need a bigger shed smile/eek.gif

I may just run it around for a while but i have discovered that someone on the burner site can re coat it.
Like you say, decals may be hard to find.
Did I read somewhere you have a 5 speed superbomber, I'd love to see that!

I had one, didn't like it as much as the 3 speeds tho'. I doubt many were made as not long after Raleigh bought out the Maveric thus ending an era

Nice.

I seem to remember I had a link for a company selling repro snakebellies (not in 20"s though!). I'll have a look and see if I can find it.
