Eh up lads. Bought these recently to add to my growing oddball fresstyle curio museum and now they have turned up i am wondering as to their origin.
They were advertised as Redline style standers but the quality of the welds plus the die stamped recess for the dropout slots suggest a higher end of production then is usually found with cheap knockoffs.

I doubt these are actually prototypes :LolLolLolLol: but they do have more than a passing resemblence to the redline standers with the design, welds and little angled edge underneath???
