Post by: gt0733 on March 06, 2007, 10:44 PM: mmm pretty much tells us what the best bmxers selected BITD. redline of course :4_17_5:
i don't know the exact year but i'd suggest that bmxa edition is in 1983. am i close?
did you know that the full bike from redline was called the carrera pl-20 and the frame fork set only was called proline-II. i'm still trying to get the year when redline put the BB brace in the chainstays. anyone got a non BB braced pl-20? mine is a "RC' which makes it a 1983, it has the brace. my original proline-II i bought new in late 1981 didn't have the brace.

excellent post zed :daumenhoch:

Post by: RATTY on March 06, 2007, 11:21 PM: Ah Yes, I have seen it before but that is super nice, I have just started a PL register if you wanna join in the fun.

I have a set of grab ons in red, but I want to fit them, sorry. They do come up on the bay, but silly money :-[

Post by: gt0733 on March 06, 2007, 11:28 PM: i'll post a pic for your register with the newer items....................and a pair of grips :2funny: actually i'm being greedy i have a red set already but i have a little memorabilia cabinet that i keep them in with other stuff.

Post by: RATTY on March 06, 2007, 11:30 PM: :LolLolLolLol:, I keep looking at mine, still in the packet, but one of these days they will get fitted, I know that uncontrollable urge will beat me eventually >:D

Post by: gt0733 on March 06, 2007, 11:37 PM: i was thinking of cheating and buying some radgrips off parrishpaws so i don't waste a good set of grabons :idiot2: but i'll look at it down the track at how close it is to what i had in '83 and just know.................i'll keep searching for the grabons :LolLolLolLol: then its finished (except for the BB brace) to how my proline-II looked in 1983 when i stopped racing.

sorry for the hijack zed :-[
