1990 redline

[gt0733]

ok. i think i've bought a 1990 redline f/f. not being up to date with post 1983 components my question is what would you blokes be looking at for components for a rider? this is a really neat set and i would like to build it up. some pics would be nice too so i can check out which sticker set to buy. so post up your parts lists for me.

That looks nice mate!  get it built up ready for MK next year!

what is the number?

[gt0733]

the frame number is L900XXXXX which led me to believe it is a 1990 model along with RL etched on the stem tube gussets. i'm thinking twin pinch flights and all blue components. i just don't know what are the correct components for a '90's bike, as i have early eighties proline frames.

i'm not sure what MK is. if it's a pom thing i'm out cause i live in Queensland, Australia.

Looks like a 720, does it have a long top tube?   

As a rough guide... parts as this 800pxl...

[gt0733]

top tube is 20 1/2 inches long.

here's an update so far on the redline. just waiting for wheels and pitbull brakes from the USA. the forklifter stem i won on ebay turned up 20 minutes after this piccy was taken  my son helped me apply the stickers, which are too modern for this frame set but they look good

I'm liking that

[gt0733]
