Hell now there's a blast from the past.

IMHO it would have been much better as a single speed....

No time for gears while cruising!

It's just not the same though.

IMO the thing that made this bike an icon was that any kid who rode it nearly killed themselves. We all have at least 1 story related to this bike.

Unfortunately kids now days don't ride bikes like our generation did.

Reckon they should have tried to keep it more original instead of retro equipping it.

Brings back so many scary memories... ☺

Not the same

 

Handlebars - gear shift -- seat just a no go

 

Horrible!!

[arendoog]

Looks heavy and unstable .The Grifter was a better bike IMO

[DJR]

But will they bring out a 29er model?
