That was the chopper. The Grifter was the one with with twist grip gear shift and the front end that felt like it was made from lead weights and was impossible to "wheelie"  WINNER - 2009 Best Newcomer Award

The Chopper design would never get though a Health and Safety assessment today - difficult to steer with a small front wheel and high rise handle bars and a gear shifter in just the right place to ruin a young male cyclist's prospects if he stopped suddenly and slid forward off the saddle............................... we are such killjoys these days 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
