Title: 77 Redline Non Gusset Proline.
Post by: Coupes on August 25, 2017, 12:36 AM

Finally managed to get parts and last Friday just in time for RAD17. I managed to build two Redlines in one day. (Must be mad lol)
This went together fairly easily and still not finished yet, NOS pads, some 7Bs, grips and seat clamp I'm still in shock at owning it.

Parts so far
Proline bars and stem
Oury grips
Tange headset
Weinmann 20 x 2.125 rims
Shimano MX coaster hubs NOS
CyclePro 12g spokes
LHR tyres 20 x 2.125
Ashtabula 7.5" crank NOS
52T Addicks swiss chesse chainring
Addicks spyder
Mongoose BB
HTI pedals NOS
Cinelli Unicantor saddle NOS
Red fluted seatpost NOS
Cook Bros seat clamp COPY

As of now there are 9 known this being number 8. A fairly early serial number frame #06598. Redline only made 30 of these for three months before they realised a gusset was needed for the headtube to downtube due to cracks in the welds. First of the Pro size frames at 19 1/2" made.

Repop pads on it just to get an idea. Need a NOS top tube pad to complete the set.
