RE****** = 1985
RD***** = 1984
RC***** = 1983
RB***** = 1982
RA***** = 1981

It's a 1984 Redline 600A

Pretty sure Dan from the info I was given - the numbers made sense in my case.

I owned 2 600a's that corresponded to the letters. The only thing I can think of is that they sat in a warehouse until the came to blighty.

i'm still trying to indentify my redline frame.

will try to post pic's later.

it's a candy red frame with serial number RJ 07811.

the redline serial number on the b/b case is within a rectangle with curved corners, rather than a true oval like the photo's in the above posts.

any ideas?

What's the difference between the MX's and the A's?

Title: Re: redline identification (NOW WITH PICS) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Bren Gunn on November 23, 2005, 07:53 PM

The only difference I can see is a small gusset behind the seat clamp area on the 600a ( like the RL20). Other than that they look the same.

Hi,

I have this - REDLINE KC 07872

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/b192/greentoad/IMG_3807.jpg)

Thanks Fordy for the info in post - http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=3067.0 that -

looks like an 1985 500a to me. 1983 600a frame numbers run in the 2000's

But, does the A, B, C, D, E not mean year then, and the R, K etc mean model?

With mine now stripped and cleaned and if it is a 500a (what is the difference in 500, 600 etc?), is it worth me sorting it, or is it shite?

NB - the post has been welded and painted, but i'm sure could be made good again.

Thanks

hi there, i put the original post in this thread with the pics of the rusty frame rd00238. thanks for the replys .am i correct in saying that my frame is an mx2 (i thought it might be )built in 1984.but would the numbers mean the bike was the 238 mx2 made or 238 redline made in 84 .or is there a differant use for the numbers..im still somewhat confused. i was surprised to learn that rd meant the year ,i just presumed that it was for the model .this is probably why im asking you guys the questions......it does look just like the blue one,with no gusset behind the seat post ,this seems to signify the differancebetween the 600a and the mx2 ?, except my bike is now white and much less rusty than before. this was the real reason for my interest so i could put the correct stickers on.by the way does anyone know where i could get a  white/red redline pad set from cause ive looked everywhere..jim
