Glad to see so many like these as much as I do :smitten:. I got one for my first bike in Christmas 1979, but was a blue mk1 like this
I was over the moon to find this mega mega early Grifter a couple of years ago from a great bloke on a Grifter forum called Lee Warburton . He was a great help later to help me source neccesary parts to complete it.as a complete survivor build . Never planned it to be a resto :angel:
But then I sold it to Sam last year who stripped it to nut and bolts :), re painted the f&f and bars and rechromed the rims sourced the NOS tyres but then sadly lost interest .
I told him if he ever came to sell it on again I wanted first refusal .
I wasn't expecting getting it back in 3 boxes of bits :D
I then sourced the correct stamped 1976 rear hub, NOS cables,pedals ,chain guard , spoke protector ,R nuts and other various clips and ancillaries from Lee and Wayne , Diggler did the wheel build , I polished the remaining bits and built it back up .
Ready to go out on the fields with a football card on the spokes and ride some the mud humps :D
Happy days :)
It's a humble build , no big budget , and still puts a big smile on my face .

That is spot on, loving the colour, takes me back to times when I didn't have a worry in the world apart from cleaning dog shite out of the soles of my monkey boots :4_17_5:
