Last night I was out and about on my favourite bike (1981 Grifter Prizzie) when I met some people who used to torment me like three years ago. Like the buggers they were they opened the sarcasm fire, shouts of nice bike, nice helmet and why do you wear a helmet. I explained that my bike was in fact a 1981 Raleigh Grifter and that if they were to ask anyone of about 40 years old about the Grifter, they will either have had one or knew someone who had one. Then being the c*cky tosser that he was one of them said that he had a new carbon fibre Raleigh. Then cooly, I said, I'm sure your carbon fibre Raleigh is very lovely but thing is, in 20 years time, it will just be some obscure mountain bike from the 2010s nothing special, whereas the Grifter is a classic, and then I cycled off leaving them to ponder that. ;D
