Well to me they're the Porsche of Old school BMX

Started last year with this build and finally built it together this week.

It was going to be a different spec as I've gradually collected the parts and changed what I wanted it like

Oakley B1 B's , Cooks cranks , Bullseyes ,Araya ADX , Shimano DX lever,

But as you see some things came up for grabs that changed my mind

Campagnolo Tipo hubs

NOS still in the box

( Not $800 from Juan Mattos ) black Hutch grips

Araya 7L's

Grippa tyres ,,Box cranks etc

Now I just want a sunny day and a couple of new decals to get my collection out in the sunshine and take some proper nice pics

I had a clearout out of 8 bikes in 2008 $:-\$

but these are 2 of my favorite bikes to join my keepers ,the bikes I thought were THE icons BITD

Supergoose 1,
Diamond back Harry Leary Turbo
Gen 1 Haro Freestyler
Skyway T/A XL
PK Ripper (Looptail)
GT Pro Nora
Hutch Pro
Raleigh Grifter

Big thanks ( in no order )
Dan dare ,Big Plinky , Diggler , Darren Woody Wood , DB250, Marty Laa, Andy Rooski, Poolysherriff,and Big DP

Always thought the "Porsche of BMX" was the 85 Master

Well, that Hutch looks loaded !! Impressive
What the point of putting a Grifter besides it though ?

Loving that hub / rim combo. Is it going in BOTM?

Well what it is, ,,they are at different ends of the scale
it's the fact that one cost nearly 20 times more that the other

, but I honestly like em both the same

I had a blue grifter exactly the same in 79, this has been semi restored with a couple of NOS bits, but leaving the frame as is , I think

monkian · « **Reply #14 on:** April 29, 2010, 11:13 PM »

I think you must just be a bit older than me

Grifters were too big and heavy for me when I was a kid and when I was big enough there was BMX

I understand the connection though.

I was probably bombing around on a Tomahawk in 79

Don't think I'd fit on one now.

Love it - looks AWESOME

Never did the Grifter thing

Went from a Budgie, Striker, Chopper and then to my Silverfox

NORTY40 · « **Reply #20 on:** April 30, 2010, 09:24 AM »

Only commented to get me up to 900 posts mate

Seriously though Christian , that's one 'let's blow the budget build'

Cracking Job

Looks superb and I can't wait for the outdoor shots , that baby is going to gleam

Never had a Grifter myself ( I had a Chopper )but a mate had one and i used to love it
