Redline Proline II

<< < (36/117) > >>

Frosty:
That is coming along very nicely.

Now about those Carrera Pads, where on earth did they appear from, are they the real deal or newbies? I know it took me an age (not to mention the readies)to get some NOS Redlines, but really want those Carrera ones ;)

I think this thread has made my mind on which build is next, just need to dig out the f+f and re-examine the finish to decide on re-chrome or polish and decal up a survivor.

GREMLIN:
The pad set just appeared in the For Sale section Frosty m8. Andy (funmonster) gave me the heads up to let me know they were there, and i was onto them like a shot.  ;) Paul the seller said he classes them as originals, and that he bought them 6 years back from some matey in Germany  :) But they've never been on a bike.
They should arrive at some point today i think. So i'll get some pics up once they land.
It'll be nice to get another pl20 build on the go Frosty. So dig the frame and forks out m8, get some pics up, and the more the merrier  :daumenhoch:   Gav.  8)

GREMLIN:
The pads turned up about 5 minutes after my last post. Thanx Paul m8  :daumenhoch:.
I've checked them up against scans of known original padsets and they're totally spot on for the toptube and stem pad. I don't have a scan or decent pic of an original v-bar pad. So if anyone could be so kind... That'd be cool  ;)
In real light the lettering is a nice dark red colour, which is supposed to be right.
So i'm well chuffed now. 
A couple of pics...:smitten:   G.

kowalski:
 :4_17_5: wow i want one of those !! great work grem that is looking top draw,
have you picked up any v bars yet ????

GREMLIN:
No v-bars yet m8. Still on the lookout.  ::)
I'm not going to let the build suffer over waiting for a set of ultra rare Stu thomson bars. So will probably finish initially with some other brand of decent sized v-bars.
I will also be on the hunt for a straight bar pad too. Just incase i decide to put a set of white Skyways and a set of G.h.p's Star bars on her to replicate R.l's Pl20 freestyler  :daumenhoch:
Just tinkering at the mo with 2 Dia compe callipers. An Mx1000 and a Dia compe 1020 (identical to the 890, but longer reach).
Thinking of going with the 1020. It's 1.5oz lighter and looks a nicer, compact, lighter calliper.  :-\
Have you any further thoughts on your parts list Daryl m8 ?  ???  Gav.
