Grisley It was Davey McCoy of Carnmoney Raleigh Centre that bought the stock of the bike shop that used to be in Abbots Cross. That was many years ago. The frame lay in the loft and then Colin, Davey's son, took a notion to build it into a bike. I should have left it for someone else for it has...

Grisley Glacier Forgot to say the bike resides in Northern Ireland and the computer is not included. I will post to UK and down south. Regards, Robin.

Complete bike for sale. I don't get the use of it that I should :(. I would have liked it to go to someone who respects its history. I bought it a year ago for £200 and spent almost as much getting it the way I wanted. It was NOS then having been in the loft of a bike shop until the owner...

Mr K, It was your bike that persuaded me to buy the Grisley for I Google searched for Grisley Glacier and your photos came up. I may not have bought the bike if I hadn't seen your bike. The Grisley lay for months in my local bike shop and nobody wanted it for it was seen as being old...

Thanks for the kind comments. The Grisley reminded me of a Muddy Fox Courier and then a Muddy Fox Pathfinder I used to own about 20 years ago. I just didn't realise how much I had to do to get it to my liking but it was a labour of love. It will suit me for I am over 60 so spend more time on...

More modifications to make it more user friendly. A pair of cheap wheels with quick release hubs, new Shimano Acera V brakes and Ergon grips. Have a look at my latest photos. http://www.flickr.com/photos/13073434@N03/

I got this a couple of weeks ago. I posted a description on another thread. It rides beautifully. I've done a bit to it since getting it. I had to ditch the Schwalbe City Jets in favour of Panaracer T-serv and put Ergon grips on. Forecast is good for Saturday so I hope to do a decent ride. Not...

I now have a Grisley Glacier. It's not as nice as your one but will do me nicely.

Ch ch ch changes I got out last Saturday and did 32 miles. I've a lot of work to get done and I have carried out some work already. Ergon grips, Panaracer T-Serv tyres and a Cateye computer to replace the Niterider which was being a nuisance. Has anyone used Schwalbe City Jet tyres? The bike...

I managed to get out for a short ride to get the gears adjusted and check the riding position. It's nice to have a quill stem. The bike was superb (pity about the engine!). I had to stop a couple of times to make adjustments and the gears are running sweetly. There is a ride on the Comber...

Thanks for the tip. I can't wait to get out on it. Work and weather among other things have got in the way.

I've given up trying to post photos of the bike so for anyone interested here is the link to my Flickr page. http://www.flickr.com/photos/13073434@N ... 026875601/

I have tried to put photos on to my gallery but it won't let me. Is there a problem with the server? I'm going to try to upload a couple here.

Here are some photos. The saddle has been raised a bit since taking the photos.

I saw a Grisley Glacier in my local bike shop several months ago and tried to interest a friend in it. He didn't bite. It lay there unloved and not wanted and the owner's son was threatening to strip it down and sell the frame. I kept going in to see it and asked why no one was interested in it...
