Redline Proline II

GREMLIN:
I'm still a bit in the dark over my frame and forks then  ???
I have a Redline Proline II frame and forks.  No letters before the digits in my serial number. A gusset behind the seat post tube. My rear drops are welded. 
So from what i can gather so far, Mine was never a Carrera build as the rear drops aren't brazed on. Also it's not an early one as i have a cross member between the chain stays.  Am i right in this thinking?  ::)  Anything else we can nail down?  ;) G.

Hey Gremlin... If those are the factory stickers you removed then I think it's a late 82, because in 83 it would look like this...

Check out the frame on the far right :daumenhoch:



Frame at the back



Same as yours, but 83 stickers...

So, I would say they made your frame type from the end of 82 into 83...

i'll add a bit more to the info gav, according to my tracking number from usps my frame and forks has been sat in customs at heathrow since 10.30 am tuesday morning :knuppel2: i just hope the 83 model didnt come with coke and crystal meth filled downtubes !!!!!!!!

GREMLIN:
Thanx Ron. I'm happy to think my frame and fork set is a late '82. early '83.  That's exactly around the time when i first heard of a Redline Carrera.
With me and a mate arguing in class whether a Diamond back Harry leary turbo (me), or a Redline Carrera (him) was the ultimate machine. Almost come to fisty cuffs infact lol.  I'm still winning with 2 turbo's to 1 Proline in the house  8). This proline is well under my skin now tho...  Seems like they're under most of ours the way this thread has been running.

Hey Daryl...   Sat in a warehouse up at Heathrow (sounds a bit "Cool for cats" - Squeeze 1979).
At least it's in the country at last m8. Won't be long now. Mid morning tomorrow it may be on your doorstep.  ;) Or not...  :D
Don't forget to have the digicam fired up.  Looking forward to seeing another build on the go.   G  :daumenhoch:

about a year ago i sent an email to the redline rep asking about correct 3 colour prolineII stickers. his return email indicated he was looking in to it.........................what a load of $hit.
if the best they can do is reproduce some crappy, innacurate stickers then they do not deserve patronage. my repos were better than their crap. if they spent half as much getting their sticker sets accurate than chasing copyright infringement, they wouldn't have the infringement in the first place. imagine proper looking sticker sets and pads made by the proper people at a sensible price.  :rant: .......................it's ok now, i've had my medication, chill!

hey Ron, whats on your BB id for that brazed frame?
