I 'found' one of those ones JOL has. It had been sat outside our local station for 6 months being gradually stripped till i 'liberated' it. It's all stripped now and i'm going to get it sprayed up - 6 months in the elements doesn't do any frame any favours. Then it'll be transformed into a 700c wheeled, brooks saddled singlespeed ride for my gf who won't appreciate it and won't be able to tell the difference between it, a grifter and a ridgeback. But hey, i'll be seen with her and her bike so i figure it's worth it. I actually really like the frame. 531 tubing so it's no lightweight but not bad for a bike from 1986, at least thats the rough date of the one i have - it's called a raleigh richmond.
