Bikes: Raleigh Grifter, 2000 Diamindback X-Link Sport, generic folding bike

Greetings from Japan.

Hello all,

I'm from England now living in Japan.
Since moving to Japan, I have been amazed how many people ride bikes here in Tokyo.
i picked up a convenient little folding bike so that i could get it on the train and head off somewhere.
i enjoy photography, so a bike gives you that extra bit more to load up my gear and head off somewhere taking pics.
The folding bike I have is really enjoyable.
Got interested in Brompton's in London and decided i would look for something similar after moving to Tokyo.

My daily ride was a Diamondback X-Link Sport. I rode it to work for several years.
not really an off-road guy, but i fell in love with it.
Had it from new in 2000. My mate sold it for me when I moved abroad in 2018.
Now getting really interested in cycling, I wish i had tried to ship it here.
A mate is also looking after my childhood Raleigh Grifter. Great memories.

I am enjoying looking through the vintage mountain bikes thread.
Got me thinking about a 90s bike.

Anyway, if you got this far, thanks for reading.
