lightest best built os racer?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Redline:
I think this is a toughy to answer. At would depend on which early era we are talking about. I personal think you would be hard pushed to find a better all round race frame than the Skyway TA... light and strong!!! Earlier than that my personal preference was the Redline MXII.. but I was small back then and it probably wouldn't have suited a larger rider.... again though, light and strong!

Maybe I'm biased though... I have both..... he he!!!

someone posted a load of spec for full bikes on here not so long back, i think the gt pro was the lightest followed by the hutch

gt0733:
i just sold my 1985 GT pro before i could weigh it. out of the 13 frames i had it was easily the lightest including the DB medium pro. redline mxII's weren't in the same league, mxIII's were a bit better  :daumenhoch:
i'm hoping my redline proline comes in under 25lbs. if it does i'll be happy  ;)

Redline:
Ahhhhh GT... what u on about????
The Redline MXIII frameset was exactly the same as the MXII frameset apart from the oval stamp on the BB... and the early MXII had slightly smaller rear dropouts! So how is one better than the other????? Plus it's unfair to compare a 1980 frameset to a 1985 frameset!!! GT framesets were nice lookin but notorious for breaking easily in my day..... never saw a broken MXII and I hammered mine!!!! lol
