Title: Redline 1987 RL20ii colours?
Post by: Jon Dyer on June 12, 2017, 09:36 AM: Hi,

I am in the middle of purchasing a !987 Redline RL20ii, it is unpainted and I am going to need to repaint it, so I need to know what colours came out in 1987?

I quite like the radberry color, but I am not sure if that came out in 1987? I was possibly going to use the decals from a 86 from
http://ajkbikes.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=83 I like the rear chrome on rear chainstay on the 85-87 over the grey on the 88's.

Any help be much appreciated.

Thanks

Jon Dyer

I don't know all the colours the RL20-II's came in '87 but we have an excellent reference section on here. In the 'Old School Freestyle'-section we have an old school magazine thread going. :daumenhoch:

I'd start in '86 as those new(er) bikes for the next year often got advertised at least six months earlier. Have fun reading :daumenhoch:

It would probably be easy to work out by looking at bmxmuseum.com where you can search specific years of bikes which have been submitted. Marc (McQueen) would also probably know the answer and will no doubt be along soon... :daumenhoch:

! Nice one Damo, missed your direction on this to me!!

87 was the worst year for Redlines, on the RL20ii's it was pretty much Black, Red (awesome colour, most left over from 86 so don't have the ad990 mounts), White and Chrome. Last year of the under chrome to the frame (unpolished under painted front triangle/ polished to exposed rear). The 88 colours came out early, and they look good as Salmon and Kiwi, but had the grey gloss painted rear triangle.
