Rare Race frame - reluctant sale...need wonga!
gossa:
Like I said since when have they been sister companies because they aint. Your original quote "basically a 1983 REDLINE with a diff sticker on" is misleading and complete nonsense. You have a very mediocre frame there mate that aint worth much so put it back on ebay or maybe keep hold of it as it's a 'reluctant sale'.

im sorry if i have caused anyone any distress by my listing tonight. i certainly didnt intend to mislead anyone!
i had read this and it tied in with the advice of my bike shop dude! taken from http://www.fatbmx.com/modules/news/article.php'storyid=1816
”We are very excited about expanding the reach of Redline throughout Europe,” commented SBS president Chuck Hooper. “We’ve always had a presence in the BMX market in key areas, but adding larger, sister-companies Batavus, Winoura and Lapierre will ensure that Redline’s are available to areas who never before had access to the most popular brand of BMX race bike.”
now i have re read it im not sure if redline were connected to batavus in 83 but it says since redlines inception in 1974... then it goes on to mention batavus.
and "Redline Bikes will be available from are Batavus, Winora and Lapierre as early as November 2006"
ok...my bad!
im an honest geezer and was offering it up to offers becouse i have no idea of value, as i originally stated!
its a nice frame and if i had more room and less burners i would do something with it!
i meant no harm! :-X

holwuff ,
No worries man , it's difficult with some unknown/obsolete products now & then . I think the main concern was that there was'nt a price or price ono or offers in excess of ? . Generally no price just causes headaches or frustrates/antagonises people and in those obvious situations where you as the seller claims to not know the value then ebay is the best option with a link on here if you wish .
Good luck with you sale .

but, it is a real POS. there are loads of them around. one or two on markplaats every week in holland and usually around 20-30 euros for a full build. if they were close enough and had decent enough parts on i used to go and get them, strip them and then throw the frames at the tip. they are hi-ten mig welded benelux burners. i know a shop that has 4 NOS f+f sets in belgium, they were the only old school items i didn't take. i left one in the back garden when i moved to the uk again. Like i said, not rare not good and not worth a carrot. batavus make some good normal dutch bloke bikes, a couple of decent droppy's but nowt else, they even had a freestyler, that was a POS too!
and this thing
which is the best of the worst.
