i had a grifter as well mate, quality bike. with regards to the chopper, wasn't the small chopper called a chipper?
indeed the smaller chopper was a chipper and a smaller Grifter was the Striker.
Where the feck did i get the name budgie from, unless are budgie was called chipper and i was riding him, but our budgie was called peter cormack , me ald fella called him that until he laid an egg and he called him beryl. Anyway where the feck did i get budgie from
there was a budgie mate, this is the budgie
and this is the chipper
not much difference, both made by raleigh but i thing the budgie was smaller, there was also an even smaller one called a 'chippie'
