Frosty:
I'm looking to get a flatland bike for my youngest brother's birthday that is next week. I think he had a Redline back in the mid 90's but I'm not sure of the models from this era, could it have been a 640/680 or something??

If I can't find one of whatever he had, what recommendations would you make for a big bleeder at about 6'4"??

Thanks

Paul

theRuler:
the 640 was like the Rl240 (in 1996) but full cromo, "oversized" headtube (normal for noobs) and ad mounts

wiiiicked bike with perfect geometry

good size for mini / street and even flat


if you want a new one though, go for one of those new KHE bikes. mmmm

Frosty:
Thanks, so do you think it would have been a 640??

Not after new, but some ideas of the models I should look out for on the Bay would be useful.

Cheers

Paul

theRuler:
yes definately an RL640

i would love one of them

i have a 240, and they are a wicked size and shape
the 640 was the chromo version and it rocked.

circa 1996

it was a 36" bike (most were back then)
so would be good for flatland

you could go shorter though.
i started building my flatland bike today (summer is coming) and it is 33". angry headtube angle!

Frosty:
Cheers for that.

I take it the 640's are not a common sight the ;)

Any suggestions for alternative bikes?

Paul
