Title: Redline Proline Help (Again)
Post by: Brandy Truffle on May 01, 2008, 01:34 PM: Still on the hunt for an early Proline F+F... Have i found a frame here?

Can someone confirm if this is definately a PL frame? It looks like it has 2 diff era decals on,but the headtube looks 5"? :-\

It looks ok to me apart from the drops and also the bottom of the head tube can't really see clear enough if it is flaired or not like mine

The seat tube decal would work with a frame with no support to the rear of the BB ( downtube is later decal ) .

And a close up of the headtube needed ;) .

I'm wondering if it's a mount for those eliptical chain tensioners :-\

The frames are pretty much bomb proof but the forks crack on the drop out fairly easily.

If the pic is a PL frame then its an early unbraced one, so the stickers are probably not correct :daumenhoch:
