If you want to know about Redline you should read this interview with Linn Kastan, this guy basically invented the BMX...   this is real BMX history from Mr Redline himself!!!

Thanks to VintageBMX for the link and interview.

As for the serial numbers, I am pretty sure thay are random from 78 onwards... if any can tell me otherwise, then please do ;)

I like Redlines...

Just a few of my bikes, photo was taken a few years back so some look a bit different now...

My first bike was a Redline 200.  1981 or 1982.  Remember them?  I don't think I've seen one since.....

I don't remember a 200, was it a complete bike? If it was can you tell me what parts it used...  1 piece or 3 piece alloy cranks etc...

Cheers,
Bren :)
