At long last I have built my labour of love

Off work and the sun was shining so thought i'd best get it built

This is an exact replica of my Redline MX 11 from back in the day, like a lot of us was sold to fund beer and fags when we discovered nights out. This is what I set out to recreate after finding this site and discovering that oldschool bmx was still a big scene a couple of years ago. This actually started life as a Team Murray 360, and was traded bit by bit until I got the bike I actually wanted (having been reading BMX action up until Xmas) from Viking sales in Davyhulme, were many a saturday afternoon was spent after a two day camel ride to get there with Tudgy, Eddie, Ishy and others. Not everyones cup of tea with the blue bits but was going to be red/black but traded my Arayas for black Z'ds with gold hubs and hated them so swapped em same weekend for the blue tuffs, hence had to go down the red/blue route then

The frame was bought from Tolly and imported from the states, the forks were NOS from DJBenice(Pete). A big thanks to Sam(meticulous) for the paint job, John(cheeky thirtysix) for the decals and meticoulsy applying them, Thanks guys.
parts run down:
Redline MX11 f/f, early USA made.
Redline bars.
Elina LB seat
DC seat clamp.
Redline fluted seatpost.
Oakley 3's
Mongoose gold stem.
shimano tourney and DX lever
tagaki OPC
Rattrap pedals
SR 44t chainring/spider combo.
Red snakebellys
Blue ally hubbed Tuffs.
Repop pads from Firebird (unfortunately couldn't afford originals).
Hope you like it

bigfatolly · « **Reply #16 on:** March 22, 2011, 10:24 PM »

looks great

i am building a bitd bike replica as well,having a great time at the moment sourcing the parts

Mattdub · « **Reply #17 on:** March 23, 2011, 08:38 AM »

Looks mega , great work

Looks just like any bike you'd see outside the local bmx shop every saturday whilst it's owner looked through the window drooling !

, spot on .

MartyC · « **Reply #18 on:** March 23, 2011, 01:42 PM »

Nice

Love the look of the Oakley 3's although hated riding with them

hunterdubber · « **Reply #19 on:** March 23, 2011, 10:05 PM »

Just like Sam says ,

as we both know how long this bugger of a build has been "on the boil"

" 'bout time

"

The Red Oakleys were a bind ti find , eh ?

I dyed those wheels about 2 years ago for ya

It's got a nice spec there too ,and you were saying it won't be everyones cup o' tea because of the blue bits

Seems to have got a few admirers, though

Quite rightly so ,, I'm another to list

Glad to see another bike , the way we used to build em ,, keepin' it real

youngy · « **Reply #20 on:** March 25, 2011, 11:49 AM »

Thanks for the comments guys glad you like her

Dubber the skyways got changed these are a nicer set

Sam, good job I didn't leave it with you it would have been a dozen colours by now

Bigfatolly good luck with your quest, i found sourcing the parts was the best bit too

Steve love the pic from BITD any more of the redline? Building a white one next with red tuffs

cheers Graham
