Title: LATEST BUILD - REDLINE RL20a
Post by: Del on February 06, 2010, 11:29 AM
I decided to finally start to put this together this morning and except for fitting a freewheel and chain it is done.... I had been after one of these for a while but now that its almost done I'm just not feeling the love for it at all..... This is the first time ever I've put a bike together and I'm just not happy with it for some reason.

Anyway, besides the lack of chain and freewheel, what do you recon?

It does look cool but this build is all about the contrast of red, black and silver.  If it was mine, I'd probably go for black or chrome stem and maybe a red or chrome chainring just to mix things up a bit.  Maybe it just needs a couple of bits tweaked for you to be completely happy with it...

It is looking good, though. :daumenhoch:

They're not die-cast, they're Tamiya 1/20 scale model kits..

I think i figured out what's bugging me about the build and its the white powerdisc, I'll try a silver/polished one.

I think its the red bars & stem that makes it look a little unbalanced  :-\

I like it, its a very nice build + I've always loved these Redline's after seeing Snav's perfect RL20  :smitten:

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :4_17_5:

I wanna do an RL 20 II similar to this although they all seem to live in the US and the tight ar$e yanks normally don't wanna send accross the pond!

Is it me or does this frustrate the sh!t out of people?  :tickedoff:

I agree with you on the spider, silver could look better.
