Here`s the bike off ebay.
Chuffed about getting it.All it needs is a decal on the top tube as the one on it is a bit faded-would appeciate if anyone knows where to get one.Also the handlebar pad.Here`s some pics.

Looks good!
Don't know about the decal, but if you want pads, speak to Steve (Esemdesign). He produces top quality pads in vinyl or the nylon, printed or plain.

Hey Agent O are they  not  the same  as  the  ones  on your  Cadbury Custom , was that  a  GS Before ?  or  they could  be a  Mk I  or MK II with  the  foam removed.

Sorry  Agent  O I was  speaking  that  brown  stuff  , just  looked  at  Cadbury  it wasnt  a  GS.

those bars look the right ones to me, i'm sure supergrip will confirm, or make me look silly ?

hi the bike was only ridden a couple of times a few times and ,all it had on it was shed dust and a bit of orangey crap , come up a treat with a brillo ,that black pad is goining in the bin ,its not for the bike ,i was wondering how many are these left ,cheers tony

Hi Tone how's things.

Nice GS, I had my eye on it when it was on eBay.  

There's not many around. I have only ever seen yours and two more on eBay over the last four or five years.  Some one was restoring one on the old Raleigh Grifter website run by Grifter Guru plus the one I have and new member  Fellrunner has one.

That's six in total, of which 3 are confirmed to be in the North west.

No dought there will be a few more lurking around in  Garages or attics.


I'm in the process of having some stickers reproduced , but due to a heavy workload I've not had time to sort them out.  I'll keep you posted when there done.

Tone

Check out Raleigh Burners on eBay. Thats were I got a NOS pad for my GS.

Nice GS Tone. Whats the date stamp on the hub? I am curious to know when the Grifter was finally produced.

hi fellrunner the hub is 82 9 cheers tony

It would seem that the GS is the rarest of Grifters so congratulations on now owning one. I have been told that the last ones were made early 83 but i havent seen anything to prove this!
