Title: yep another redline
Post by: gt0733 on June 29, 2007, 09:05 AM

i now have my PL-20 at the same stage as when i sold my old proline II race bike back in 1983. well as close as i can remember, anyway  ;D  i have tried to keep a survivor look which is why there are scratches and faded parts on it.

Nice looking ride, I would have killed for a bike like that BITD, only cheap sh*te for me as a lad I'm afraid.

We have a nice collection of redlines building up now, is the serial in the PL registry??

Wow, they just keep getting better and better. I do love a survivor over a NOS build, gives them a character well above a new bike. :4_17_5:  :4_17_5:

Very nice m8  :daumenhoch:. 
It's nice to see what the pile of parts looks like once built up. I hope mine looks half as nice when all together.      G  ;)

thank you for the nice replies.
it's taken nearly a year to find the various bits in reasonable enough condition without going over the top with NOS. i love this build, just cause of the memories it brings back.......................and the scars :LolLolLolLol:

that's it for redlines from me, unless i find a 1980 proline. i've got a couple of old geese to annoy yus with  :coolsmiley:
