yeah baby! My first bike (not a hand-me-down) was a raleigh Styler (the baby Burner). But it was just as BMX was going out of fashion and I wanted an MTB + gears so bad - D'oh!
I've got a Grifter like this in the shed of my Mums house waiting for me to dig it out.. was £15 from a car boot back in 1999. I restored it to the best of my kiddy ability - including stripping and re-assembling the rear wheel just to polish that SA 3-speed Hub.
