(1/10) > >>

I'm trying to find out what a Redline Carrera is exactly  :-\

All I can find so far have been pl-20's or rl-20's and I'm dying to get me hands on one, I remember a mate had a white one with red tuffs that was the dogs danglies bitd and I'd like to re-create that very bike.

Are they rare as rocking horse poo or just poo?

Any help appreciated  ;)

So a rarity then? Is that what they're called 'carrera's' or was there numbers and stuff involved aswell, like the pl-20's or something?

Bren Gunn:
The Carrera was Redlines top of the range, off the shelf complete race bike...  like a Leary Turbo, but with a better paint job and quality cranks, and cost big bucks.

It's a PL20 frame and fork set, with flights, brute stem , proline bars, Redline seatpost, Ukai rims, Suntour s/f sealed hubs, Dia Compe MX1000 Brakes, then it all depends on which year...

Good luck finding a frame pad...  if you think Hutch or Leary pads go for big bucks, just wait till one of these gets on ebay :shocked:


Fantastic Bike.

gmac:
I've got one I got off Subwax. Not got round to getting it built yet though.

Have a word with Neil, he knows his Redlines, plus he's got 2 others built up. Check 'em out in the museum, they're in there. Flippin lovely bikes.

Cheers

Guy  :)
