Title: Re: Received these today

Post by: Frosty on January 06, 2006, 12:05 AM: Neil,

Is that RL the one that was on the bay for a mint the other week?? Looks the business though.

How's your carerra II coming on and how many redlines have you accumulated now?

Step away from the Radberry - leave it as it is the camera is doing an old frame justice as it is!!

Title: Re: Received these today
Post by: subwax on January 06, 2006, 12:10 AM: I have had the Radberry frame for about a year now. There are small chips on it, which p!ss me off a bit, but the again, as Ollie said, perhaps it lends itself to the character of the frame.
Title: Re: Received these today
Post by: subwax on January 06, 2006, 12:50 AM: Hi Frosty,

No that Redline is still en-route to me - should be here shortly. That is one rare RL, too - it was a prototype for the California red colour that Redline used in 86. I think the 85 red is by far the rarest of the 85 colours too, even hazard yellow.

I have the Carrera II frame forks, bars, 400 flights in 175mm (rare) and I recently got hold of a Carrera II frame pad - result!!! Got the black Ukais, still need a few more things but basically should be there soon. i will be taking it to the chromers as soon as my first batch has been done. Pics to follow.

Got quite a few Redlines now. Still got a long way to go to get near Lee's collection though.

Post by: Frosty on January 06, 2006, 01:59 AM: Neil,

Who are you going to use for chroming? I have used the Castleford lot for the kuwi and some crank arms, but am not sure if to send up the redline.

Paul

Title: Re: Received these today
Post by: jon016847 on January 06, 2006, 08:32 AM: I prefer the ST 20, I have never been much of a fan of twin top tubes, what i really like is the son-lite hubs, pure class !!

All frames are cool, I dont konow much about redline, where year are they from ?
Title: Re: Received these today
Post by: subwax on January 06, 2006, 09:49 AM: Hi Jon. The RL20 II's are all from 1985. That is the only year the l shaped rear stand was made - after that, they all came with a j shaped stand.
