Title: Old School Redline?
Post by: Simplicating on January 30, 2011, 10:03 AM

Hi, around 4 years ago I purchased a Redline BMX from a car boot sale. I didn't really think about it much and it was left in the shed. I found it a couple of weeks ago after 4 years and noticed the calliper brakes and thought it might be an old school BMX. I purchased a layback seat and some new calliper from ebay to put on it. I cant find it on any BMX websites though. So if anyone can help me into finding out the year and model I would be most grateful.

Purple Seat and Layback seatpost arent originals

Blue calliper brakes are new not originally with this

I recently saw one of these stems sell on ebay for £70. It is a DK Stem

Also there is a Redline crank with CW107 imprinted in the middle. Also R on the right-side and L on the left-side.

If anyone could help I would be most thankful
Many thanks, Simplicating

Thanks Gary. Ive had a look at bikes built around that time and have come to the conclusion its a Redline RL 320. :)
