Redline confussion!!!!!

(1/2) > >>

raddad:
Good evening gents. Some Redline help please....
I have the below frame that I'd like to flog. However I am a bit confused...

The serial number matches that of "unknown year japanese made MXIII" according to the databases I can locate. It does match some of the detailed descriptions of an MXIII.
 
BUT it also matches the details of a PL20 Carrera (which when I bought it, I believed it to be....) such as bridge behind bb, dropout shape etc. It also has large breath holes in the BB. The welds are lovely, tubing very light. Fork is tapered and definitely matches a carrera.




If i can get chance to take more snaps this week I will.

Any help out there?

glenboy:
It's definitely a proline/ pl 20 as it has the 5 inch head tube

glenboy:
The serial numbers on redlined are a bit all over the place usually the ones with bridge behind the Bob are later models sort of 83 to 85

raddad:
Cheers for that. I was sure it was a Pl20 but the serial numbers confused me somewhat....but as you say thats not unusual. Its exactly the same as one that sold in the states a few weeks ago. But ist best to certain before flogging it. Any ideas of value (the Win Redline bars in the pic will be included)?
It feels quality, I just wish I had the time to build it.
