Title: New boy needs some advice on a Redline
Post by: VWmk2 on November 24, 2011, 07:37 PM: Evening BMX people, think I may have just felll it to a bucket of shit but came out smelling of roses :laugh:

Just been talking to a mate about getting a BMX after 15 years and a lad he knows says he has a Redline from about the late 80's and only wants £50!! Everything is there bar the breaks

Now I was never really a die hard BMXer but he says the wheels are worth about that much alone? As well as the £50 I do have to show him how to mix paint as Im a car painter LOL

Sound like a good deal to you guys??

Thanks G

PS. pics to follow

EDIT***

He also says it has a double frame!!??
