Interesting bike, you don't see many of those about. I can't remember ever seeing one over here. What year would that be from?

It's a 1999. I was told they were very expensive and pretty hard to find.

I put a real nice period correct wheel set on it today... They are red high flange crupi hubs on chrome rhyno lites with ti spokes and red nipples.  New pictures soon.

Interesting/rare frame, but not one of Redline's best looking frames.  But it's from an era when companies were experimenting with different things (as well as different drugs if some of the designs are anything to go by) like the Haro/Mountain Cycle Monocoques, GT Box Series, Jad, Herrington Crusader, TNT Hwa Fong Daddy, etc

Didnt they come with triple clamp forks as standard? the "normal" forks were an optional extra

The Odyssey/redline team rode those, Liam Batey had one when he was on the tean I think?

 :) DINGO :)

I think Hanebrink made some triple crown BMX forks around this time but not sure they came as standard on the Redlines.  Another wack product that thankfully never took off.

Is Hanebrink the loony who used to make those GPV/full fairing downhill bikes?
