Title: 80's Redline Proline Tapered Forks up on the bay
Post by: Redline on September 28, 2006, 04:19 PM: Hey dudes,

Pretty sure I read somewhere in the forums recently that someone was after a pair of tapered Redline Proline Forks but can't remember who it was as I'm pretty newby here on the site. Anyways here's the link:

I had that with an item from US Ebay. They can change the listing so UK members can bid.

Just email him and ask him.

Good luck mate, I know you are desperate for them.

Post by: RATTY on September 30, 2006, 10:16 AM: hi paul, not sure yet, theres been a bit of a debate about the stickets, I bought a set "official redline repro" in March but they have an error on them, so we have all emailed redline to see if they will do the correct ones :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: 80's Redline Proline Tapered Forks up on the bay
Post by: Tricky on September 30, 2006, 10:27 AM: Morning,

I emailed Redline regarding the correct repo Proline II stickers and no reply. I mailed that Gork direct last Friday offering pictures of the originals.
If anyone can help i have the exact original ones including the cromo sticker still on my bike. They are complete and in good nick, just need to take em off to powder coat the frame.

Post by: RATTY on September 30, 2006, 10:29 AM: Take them off, very carefully, you may have the last remaining originals.....

when you get them off can you scan them and post them on here.... :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: 80's Redline Proline Tapered Forks up on the bay
Post by: Tricky on September 30, 2006, 10:36 AM: Yeah i can do that.
Did i email you pics of the f & f Ratty?

Do you recon its best to take em off or just use detailed pics of them still on for the scaling etc.

Can someone give me a quick run down on how to post my pics on here, all the ones i have wont fit :-[
Title: Re: 80's Redline Proline Tapered Forks up on the bay
Post by: RATTY on September 30, 2006, 10:39 AM: Yes mate, i got the pics...dont know about taking the stickers off, I tried to get a mongoose sticker off for someone to scan but it disentigrated..but I know a few people on here have managed it.

Heres the correct sticker with proline on it, all the repops have carrerra or pl20

Post by: Tricky on September 30, 2006, 10:43 AM: That sticker looks different to mine..in that the main frame decal is all one. It has clear over the top of the tube.

Post by: Tricky on September 30, 2006, 10:45 AM: I will put some pics on now if someone can tell me how to shrink my pics....

Post by: snav69 on September 30, 2006, 10:50 AM: This stuff may help with removing the decals , i used it on my motocross bike with no problems but aint tested it on bmx decals though.

Title: Re: 80's Redline Proline Tapered Forks up on the bay
Post by: RATTY on September 30, 2006, 11:40 AM: Ok m8, you need to go to http://photobucket.com/login.php open a new account, its free. Then you need to upload the picture to photo bucket. once you have done that you will see 3 lines of info, copy the top line, and paste it on here. you need to paste it in between an image bracket. click on the picture frame tab above the smileys. it should be something like this. paste the info n the middle of it.

Post by: gt0733 on October 01, 2006, 05:57 AM: on the sticker issue, i'm reasonably sure that they were a 3 coloured sticker. the white followed by the red then black. all recent repos i've seen (including the correct PL11) are only 2 colours, the red with black outline. i think a good set of pads are going be even worse to find. hehehe that's half the fun.
Title: Re: 80's Redline Proline Tapered Forks up on the bay
Post by: Tricky on October 01, 2006, 10:41 AM: Yeah the stickers and pads seem to be the hardest part. Def three colours, the stickers.

I think i might just powdercoat around my origanals :) :LolLolLolLol:

Ratty, cheers for the picture instructions, i ll get that sorted tommorrow.

um.....have i missed something here. did Jim's deal fall through? :'(
Title: Re: 80's Redline Proline Tapered Forks up on the bay
Post by: jimwise68 on October 13, 2006, 10:43 AM: Deal didn't fall through. got original minty mint, stem and v-bar.

But got let down on the frame pad.

Speaking to two different people at the moment with regards to a frame pad.

One of them has a four stud frame pad but it seems to be a smaller size, it is deffo not a straight handlebar pad as it is a bit too big.
Anyone know what it is?

Will post a pic later.
