Mate of mine/neighbour from down the road has just popped round and shown me a picture of a bmx on his i-phone
One of the gardens he does has a bmx in the shed - the guy says it's his from back in the day and he got it second hand bitd
He says it's a REDLINE - now i only got a few minutes to study it
don't know too much about redlines so i'm hoping you lot can help work out which one it could be
chrome frame
has the what i call bottoma style forks or what i think is the 600a fork
one piece crank
victor or shimano pedals
sugino stem
mx 1000s
araya or ukai rims
unknown seat
black bars
this is what i could see, as the bike was in the back of a shed
he is going to send me the picture over via e-mail but i don't know when - so just wanted to see if any one could work it out ?
parts seem to around the 80's (83-85?)
now one bit that i think i saw on the frame was at the seat post / brake stay tubes - it was a little triangle gusset pointing up and fill the bit where the tubes meet - had a look on some redlines and it seems only a few have this bit ? would this narrow it down
can anybody give me a list of what it could possible be please :angel:
will show pic when i get it
the guy is asking around £100 for it ?
cheers B ;)
-
are the 100 and 600's the only ones to have the gusset tab at the rear and the forks with the tubing past the wheel nut ?
800 has different forks
-
Sounds like a 600a to me or a 102b ( same frame ) i have both , 100% chromo . A great race bike and at that money its a bargain . Let us know how it pans out . :daumenhoch:
-
just been reading up on them and it could be the 600a ?
so what is the difference between thw 102b and the 600a ?

got pic's ? :angel:

Right my mate just brought it round
worse than i thought but not as bad as nothing
Frame - it's been sprayed silver but looks free of dents and so - but this also most likely means the frame has been keyed to take the paint - so it won't be a simple striping off the paint for the chrome ::)
Forks - look clean and no scrapes down the side that i can see - no end caps
Stem - little worn in colour but clean shape
Crank - worn but clean
chain ring and spider - clean - chain needs a clean to see
DC seat clamp - clean couple of marks
Brake caliper - 1000A (copy dc mx) needs cleaning up
seat post - painted thick black ?
Bars - unknown and painted thick black - for some bloody reason they are cut down from 26" to 25" ? but only on one f'ing side ??? so will need to be cut to 24" - any one know what they are ? :-\
Seat - shite and off a racer bike
Lever - cheap MTB shite
Headset - unknown at mo
Tyres - Cheng shin whitewalls - good to fair - plenty tread but need cleaning up
Wheels - Ukai rims shinny side - suzue hubs - good condition need clean and polishing side up - freewheel has the word GEARS on it ?
Pedals Shimano DX - good to fair

any one know if it's a '83 or the '84 ?
have said to the guy it's not worth £100 and that my offer is £40 :yahoo_silent: - well we will see what price i get it at ???
cheers B ;)
-
B looks like a 500a to me id pay £100 give me his number :daumenhoch:
Oh has it got the rear gusset?
-
yup the rear has the gusset tap - that's why i thought it was a 102b or 600a - and the blue bits gave it away after some research
-
Cool B worth a £100 all day long mate, dont lose it for a few quid :daumenhoch:
-
we will see ;D
any one know the bars ?
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/tt183/ELEVENTEENBENDYCAT/REDLINE%20600a/SNV12166.jpg)
-
If he's a mate, give him £100 - it's worth that all day long.
-
Nice parts on there B. ET builders will be all over that stem 8) ;)
Bars look to be a good size as well and chrome underneath.
-
I would say that's a 1983 600a with original wheels,stem brakes and crank set. £40 is taking the piss.
-
wortyh 100 all day long some nice stuff there
-
Just been told i can take it for £60 and i don't want to loose it in trying to get a lower price ;)
right anybody know what the bars are ???
as they have been cut one side ::) :uglystupid2: - do i cut the other side or see if i can add a inch ? ???
(Badbaldie will let you know if i move the bars on ;))
cheers B ;)
-
Bars look like alloy hi-rise bars - Race Inc / FMF :daumenhoch:
Interested if you are getting rid as I could use another set :)
-
Pro class bars?
-
Pro class bars?
nope.
-
are the race inc in you pic on museum john ???
-
hard to tell, they have a star bar shape, but the welds look quite large. race inc poss if alloy
-
are the race inc in you pic on museum john ???
Yes.
Well Race Inc manufactured at least. They were not stickered when I got them and Race Inc made bars for themselves and for FMF and mongoose etc. etc.
But yes for all intents and purposes mine are Race Inc. hi-rise bars :daumenhoch:
I had them re-anno'd and put them on my 1980 supergoose 1 :

I guess it will be down to measurement size to see if they are the same
can a extra inch be welded on ? ???
good price, yes - would have been better if he hadn't of keyed the chrome :'( for paint
