Title: Picked up a nice survivor today...
Post by: Hmoon27 on July 01, 2014, 07:23 PM
Picked this up early doors this morning......

Redline RL20 ii Prostyler. Complete survivor from bitd. The bloke I got it from was given this 18 years ago , when he was 12. His dads mate ,who rode for redline ,had this as a team bike and was no longer riding ,so gave it away.
If I'm honest ,I brought it for the cranks to use on something else , however after seeing it in the flesh it seems a shame to break it up. For now , I'm going to strip it, clean and regrease and leave it how it is. How true the story is , I don't know , but either way , whoever had it knew his stuff looking at the parts on it and a nice find none the less :daumenhoch:
Well chuffed ;)

Early MTB levers, we all had them, must have been late 84 to early `85, ours were modified with a push button lock by the local bike shop if I remember it.

Sweet find there Mark!
