1979 Raleigh Grifter Mk2 in Red rebuild

[4737carling]

I finally got round to rebuilding my march 79 stars after a few years sitting there on the shelf. This used to be my sons bike and I felt a bit guilty nicking all the bits off it so here it is back to its former glory. Nice original paint and parts (paints a bit faded but still very nice) Here's a few pics...

Yet another fine example of your work....
Oh.. I like it.

How many bikes in your man den??

[4737carling]

I have 7 grifters and 5 schwinns so 12 in total Rich. I have room for about another 5 more in the main Den and another 6 in my second den I just built.

[gingerrich76]

Oh, soooo green. Two dens and all those bikes.
Excellent

Another very nice bike you have saved bud :-)

[gingerrich76]

And are you allowed to play in your den without 20 questions on why..? :-D

[4737carling]

Yes mate as long as I let her have the remote control for the TV its cool. You have to have your man den time.

May I pay you a compliment in return.....very nice indeed, love the man cave too.  

[4737carling]

Cheers marc, I've given the den a tidy up and now have a bit more room. Time for another project me thinks.

[markc]

It'd be rude not to

[grifterste]

very nice, will your son be using it again then Wayne ?

[4737carling]

No Steve, he's not interested in grifters anymore (he has a girlfriend) lol Looks like I will have to keep the stars for myself, what a shame!

[gingerrich76]

Bet that was the plan all along... :-)

[4737carling]
