I've finally "Painted my Masterpiece" - Redline Proline II

(1/13) > >>

Redline:
Hey guys,

As a few of you know, I had a few nightmares along the way with this one but my labour of love is now finally complete  :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:

Did most of the polishing myself on the frame & Forks prior to plating... keeps the cost down as the platers don't like doing the fiddly nooks and crannies so you end up with a perfect job this way  :daumenhoch:

I'd like to thank a few of you for helping me with some of the parts.... Orangezippy for parting with his NOS Brute Stem, Mattdub & Tricknuts for helping me with shipping the forks from the states, Worldwide for the NOS Ukai Rims, Bodamus for the NOS Knarler Knobbies, Hunterdrubber for the NOS Suntour Seatclamp and finally Biagio for the NOS Suntour Sealed Hubs, Suntour Chainring, DC MX900 and Asahi Spokes.

Hope you all like... Specification as follows:
