Redline ID ????? and the resto begins
« on: April 13, 2010, 07:32 PM »
Yes im hammering the resto section but im sure its giving you guys something to do. Ive Just got a Redline to restore/ride it has a ST2o decal on the seat tube which looks original. The downtube decal looks like its off another model ive looked and cant fint these two decals together on a Redline so can you tell from anything else like the frame number, it has the redline logo underneath :daumenhoch: pics coming asap !!!!














I decided to spray the bike with industrial cleaner then jet wash it






Then I stripped the Tuffs and cleaned them again ready to be bleached




I gave the MTB a clean aswell

The fact that it has the small triangle plate behind the seat-clamp area suggests a Redline ST-20, 600a or 500a from 1983-85 era  Japan made :daumenhoch:
Earlier frames without the Redline oval stamp on the bottom bracket were USA made.

Hope this helps  :daumenhoch:

From memory.. and I could be wrong.... the triangle plate came in very late 83 so some of the early 83 framesets didn't have it.

The 500a and 600a are identical framesets...... the 500a being sold as just a frameset and the 600a as a complete bike. Think the ST-20 was 1984 onwards as the decals are the same style as the RL20 Prostyler which came out in 1984 from memory  :daumenhoch:

Hope this helps
