Title: 1982 REDLINE MX-II
Post by: Macmania on March 19, 2010, 10:36 AM: 1982 REDLINE MX-II Early USA Manufactured (Pre Oval Redline Stamp on BB).
I have always loved the look of the Redline's with the simple red/white on chrome colour scheme. So when I had the opportunity to import a frame and forks from the US recently I jumped at the chance and over the last few months have slowly been acquiring suitable parts for the build. Frame and Forks are in a survivor state. Big thanks to everyone who supplied me with the parts. This is one of my favourite builds so far, hope you like it as much as I do.

Parts List
1982 Redline MX-II Frame and Forks
Redline V-Bars (Stamped)
Beartrap II Headset
Redline Brute Stem
Oakley B2 Grips
Dia Compe MX900 Brake with Tech III Lever
MKS Footjaw Pedals
Kashimax MX Seat
Suntour Seat Clamp
Izumi Chain
Redline Chainwheel
Redline 401 Cranks (Single Pinch Full Wrap)
Araya 7X Wheels
Tioga Comp III's
Repop Pad Set (Firebird Steve)

This is how the Frame and Forks looked when they turned up from the US.
