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

Answers my question then!
Nice.

That's lovely Lee, well done on scoring that & bet it was worth waiting for "wantit" "wantit"
Looking forward to seeing how you build it up now bud :popcorn:
-
SWEET FRAMESET! would love one of these too! look forward to seeing what you do with it! Are you going to stick to factory spec or custom? :daumenhoch:
-
Gotta love a RL20II, very nice fella ;)
must be an early 85, they changed the rear platforms to the square type in 85?

I'm not sure which way I am going yet just extremely happy to have bagged such a stunning example I am thinking hp48 or tuffs 880s or 883 nippons Acs stokers flights Acs rotor not sure just yet

Thats lovely Lee, can't beat the feeling of landing a grail, really pleased for you bud :daumenhoch:

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:
-
yep, like the Jaan said, that's well sexy 8) ....well NOS actually :shocked: ....damn, now you can't build it ;D
-
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.

Wow that is nice. "wantit"
Redline done some lovely coulors around that time. :daumenhoch:
