Title: 1985 Redline RL20II og paint and chrome
Post by: nitrohopper on September 16, 2014, 09:50 PM
Well yesterday evening with thanks to few different radsters(you know who you are) I picked up one of my grail bikes the 1985 redline RL20II prostyler in hazard yellow with og paint chrome and decals this frameset is stunning, I also got an og stem and set of redline freestyle bars . and have found myself today thinking of how to build it so I thought I would start a thread on here to show how I get on , this is going to be a rider so I am looking for a few different bits and I have a few bits to trade thanks for looking (http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/09/16/ea29f24b46d62b06ce3ff1cdbfd2fe90.jpg)(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/09/16/eb42608dfb5ded78b2582edc05986370.jpg)(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/09/16/c162e0bd913cce1317ade99381b01104.jpg)
The paint on this ole girl is stunning considering that it is 29 years old there are a couple of small.marks on chrome but as I said it's eighties chrome

I like them with HP48's, don't think tuffs would look right on a RL somehow! will be cool as whatever way you go!  :daumenhoch:

I think the hazard yellow rl20ii's look best with chrome hp48's, especially with the chrome forklifter bars - Second best is some matching yellow peregrine masters. Or white masters if you have white flights. Either way, well done on getting this and I cant wait to see the build develop.
