From Burners and Choppers to Grifters and Vektars, we’ve imagined and reimagined the world of cycling more times than we could possibly count. 130 years of dreaming, designing, building, riding. And, after all that time, we’ve come to the same conclusion we started with – we just bloody love bikes.The Strika was replaced by the Burner and Mini Burner in the 1980s although the Raleigh brochures from 1982 and 1983 show both the Strika and the Strika XL being sold alongside the Burner. [2] In the late 1990s, Raleigh released the Dirt Cross with a frame styling and design similar to that of the Strika. We travelled a lot too in the marketing team so I was around 16 staying in some of the best hotels in the UK. There were lots of photo-shoots to go to and it was such an innovative team.

I remember one of the first Chopper bikes was just built while I was there and I was able to ride it and they also were making mopeds while I was there. I borrowed one or two to get home or to see my girlfriend. Although the Grifter range continued (and expanded) despite the introduction of the Burner BMX range in 1982, the huge popularity of BMX saw the Grifters target market riding a Burner instead. By 1983 a Grifter was a rare sight on the street, with some even being converted to resemble a BMX by their riders. The model was out of fashion and Raleigh pulled the plug on the Grifter that year.But that doesn’t mean they have left their Nottinghamshire based roots behind. The company still operate from their headquarters in Eastwood.

Although it is advisable that you take advice from experts and your friends, but after you consult the experts or friends, the final decision is up to you. Once you decide do not underestimate your gut feelings. Just believe in yourself and think about what you need and the salesman in the shop is there to guide based on your cycling requirements. He said: "I started there in 1973 on a four-year apprenticeship before joining the design team. The Choppers were still going down the production line when I joined.I also remember things like there being some issues with a new lubricant being tested that was fine here in the UK, but would wash out easily in the monsoon season in Asia.
