Title: 84 Redline 500a
Post by: Howser on July 20, 2013, 07:25 PM: Evening gents,
I've been on here about a year now and thought it time I shared one of my two builds with you. Slightly apprehensive as the are some amazing bikes on here but I'm really pleased with it and ride it every weekend.

I bought the frame and forks on here back in January this year, sourced the parts and a big thank you to Kappy who painted the kkt pedals and sugino chain ring for me. Last part to change out will be new tyres soon.

If I've managed to get photo bucket right below there should be some pics of the bike below.

Many thanks

A nice set of Redline V bars would compliment it perfectly :daumenhoch:

Post by: Howser on July 23, 2013, 07:38 PM: You're right they do look good with fork lifters. That's added another idea to my dilemma :-\
