Post by: monkian on February 10, 2010, 10:47 PM: Nice one 8) I like the Red, White & Blue idea :daumenhoch:
Maybe a couple more blue elements would be an idea (stem / grips) ???

Post by: glenboy on February 10, 2010, 10:54 PM: cheers guys yeh i wasn't sure the differences in the frames on the redlines, yes i really like the wheels especially, theres a few bits i am not in love with and looking at changing , the saddle maybe , seat post clamp possibly , theres always something eh , i have a standard mongoose californian and the difference between this and that is amazing it must be half the weight of the mongoose

Post by: glenboy on February 15, 2010, 08:07 PM: cheers.... yeh theres so many redline frames and names i didn't have a clue what it was so thats a help, i thought it was a proline myself as well but i am a born again bmxer and don't know that much tbh

Post by: currio on February 15, 2010, 10:20 PM: Love that mate, some choice parts too :4_17_5:
I have to say I am not too sure about the tyres though, I think skinwalls would make a big diiference.

Post by: glenboy on February 15, 2010, 10:39 PM: yes i know what you mean re the tyres generally i'm happy with it ,but a few bits i may change (seat /tyres maybe)
