Hi I'm looking to find out some information on my dad. Gary Morgan from Blackpool we now reside in Australia. I am wanting to get him a grifter for Xmas as a surprise as he won a British national on one back in 84. He is also apparently in an issue of bmx action magazine. If anyone knows where I can get a copy that would be great. Also looking for a decent grifter to ship here and pair as it was when he won. Any pictures you may have will be greatly appreciated.

Something rang a bell reading this so I had a look through my action bike magazines and found this article, it's from BMX Action Bike November 1984 and shows your dads' Grifter, looked like a pretty unique set up  8). As for buying one now I guess ebay is your best bet. Hope this helps  :)

Great info that guys, thanks  :daumenhoch:

The mag fails to disclose that the frame has been heavily modded though. The seat mast has ben narrowed at the top, the seat stays have been lowered, a brace has been fitted around the seat stays and seat mast and it looks like, Torker drops, have been added too. That's just the rear. I would to see thw whole frame if someone has a pic as the headtube on the Grifter was well long.
