Description

A 1980s Raleigh Grifter bicycle featuring a black-painted steel frame and contrasting red front and rear mudguards. The bicycle is designed with high-rise chrome-finish handlebars, black textured handgrips, and a black quilted-pattern long seat. Two original metal head tube badges are present, displaying the Raleigh heron logo and identifying the piece as a product of Nottingham, England. The bicycle is equipped with wheels featuring red-sidewall tyres, a rear metal luggage rack, and integrated reflectors.


Condition report:

The bicycle is in used condition with signs of age-related wear throughout. Surface oxidation is visible on the chain, spokes, and chrome components. There is significant paint loss at the tip of the rear mudguard and general wear to the frame and saddle consistent with age and use.
