Redline Proline II
Frosty:
I have only seen the decals in the form that you have shown. From memory the decals were sanctioned by redline and given that the set caters for both PL 20 and 24 the downtube decal needs to be long enough for the largest application, so my guess is that the cut down was always anticipated for pl20 applications.
Unless anyone can post a pic of the repro sets with 2 types of downtube decal, I suspect Gremlin has done what was required!!

I have to say I've never had the need to get a set of these decals but I can't imagine that a regular punter would be expected to trim them down to size but hey, I learn something new about BMX everyday :LolLolLolLol:

makes sense frosty but like marty says you shouldnt really have to butcher your own stickers especially with no prior warning from the seller, and at the end of the day no ones gonna win any prizes having joined up decals on a frame are they, it really sucks, ps does anyone know if firebird does repro padsets?? :)

I did think of this straight away as i realised the down tube decals were probably for the PL24" application.
But as said I wouldn't expect to have to butcher a decal, to cut 'n' shut it to fit.
Nowhere does it state i was going to have to cut chunks out of it , to fit my frame, in it's discription.
Even then i may have accepted this choice. But the sellers whole attitude of "it's your fault", "shut up and go away" has got me baying for blood :knuppel2: "My frame and forks must be fake", or "You probably don't even have Redline Pl20 there"!!! >:( :idiot2: :knuppel2: :tickedoff: :uglystupid2: :2gunsfiring_v1: :Aresehole:
I know each set cost about a tenner. It's not the money now. It's the principal >:D G.

81(RA serial number) for the complete Jap made Carrera complete bike, but the PL20 frame set was still being built in the US ( it's the US frame sets that have no bridge at the chainstay) and long into 82, not sure when they stopped though ???
Carrera give away...
Brazing the drop outs ;)
If any one else has any info on these frame sets, please chip in, it's taken me some time getting this material together... even more info would be even better :daumenhoch:
As for the decals, you did right to cut them up... I'm pretty sure that is the only set you can buy, and from what I remember, it was a balls up... just like the rest of the stickers Redline and BMXSTOP did...
