I've got the chance to buy a Redline RL20 from a local bloke that's selling off his collection.
It appears nice a straight with no dings or scrapes. What sort of price should I be looking to pay. He's mentioned doing it to me for £200 as I've just bought his pro performer off him. Is this a fair price?
-
Depends on the year really, but I'd say anything before 88 would be worth £200 ;)
The 84 Prostlyer is worth around the same as the twin top tube 86/87 Prostyler, they would be easy £300 I reckon. Just my opinion. :D
-
Twin top tubes as in RL20II are worth twice that easy (£500+). Its still a good price for a tidy RL20.
What else is he selling ???
-
As I said easy £300 for twin top tube (which is lovely looking frame) but they do go for well over £500 as well, as Jaan says. ;)
Look out for the rarest I think, which is the 86 prostyler with lower rear standing platforms and single top tube :) Again I might be talking bollox :P
-
He's got this one as a frame and forks.

That's 84 the first one, defo worth £200 ;) If you don't want it, I'll take it off his hands, lovely frameset. In good nick, you'd double your money would think :)
-
Looks to be in perfect condition, other than having been built which I'm assuming you wouldn't know once it'd been rebuilt. I'm only getting it cheap because I just bought a grey GT Pro Performer complete bike off him.
-
zippys GT ? Is it his redline
-
Yes, it's Simon. Zippy is his screen name on Rewind.
-
Worth the £200 if he does that deal for you :daumenhoch: The GT was nice :)
-
£200 for an early RL-20 is a steal.There is a frame and forks on here now for 350 and that is cheap.I have seen them go for 500 plus. :daumenhoch:
-
Simon (Zippy)... I just bought his TA.

i imported the GT a few years ago, it is an orignal grey 86, which was colour matched and powdered by Dan who did his usual amazing job on it, i then sold it to zippy who built it up and it looks cool as fk :daumenhoch:
-
The gt sounds nice,any pics?
-
Apologies for the crappy pictures, I'll take some more once I get the time and the sun is out. The bike is absolutely mint. It's never even been ridden since it's rebuild. The guy insisted I carry it to the car so I didn't get the tyres dirty. Apparently they're hard to get hold of.

Ohhhh nice GT! Only seen a few in that colour. who did you buy it from? looks familiar ???
-
Love that bike :smitten: Not seen a Performer in that colour before, really nice.
Some choice parts as well, top drawer. :4_17_5:
If the guys Redline is anything like that, at £200, bite his arm off!
-
I got it from a guy called Simon who owns a local bike shop. I've been buying my road stuff off him for the last few years and we got onto the subject of old school bmx's. he mentioned he had a few then started reeling of a list of all my dream bmx's. as you know one thing leads to another and before you know it I've bought a GT Pro Performer lol
I'm giving his Redline a miss as he says he's got a really nice Trickstar I'd absolutely love.

is that the Candy Red one? :)
-
The funny thing is he doesn't know what colour it is lol, he can't remember if it is red or blue. I think he's waiting for it to be picked up by his mate. He said it had the bars with it too. He's not 100% sure he's selling it so if it's nice I'll have to try and persuade him :D
-
has his mate picked it up yet? i thought it had been ready for months!
-
I don't know but I don't think so.
-
Would he sell the RL to me? ;)

-
First grey one I've ever see. :smitten:
-
I love the GT. I can't stop looking at it.
-
