New boy needs some advice on a Redline

[VWmk2]

Evening BMX people, think I may have just felll it to a bucket of shit but came out smelling of roses  

Just been talking to a mate about getting a BMX after 15 years and a lad he knows says he has a Redline from about the late 80's and only wants £50!! Everything is there bar the breaks

Now I was never really a die hard BMXer but he says the wheels are worth about that much alone? As well as the £50 I do have to show him how to mix paint as Im a car painter LOL

Sound like a good deal to you guys??


Thanks G

PS. pics to follow


EDIT***

He also says it has a double frame!!??

double frame, maybe he means twin top tube, in which case give him £50 give him an egg whisk, and run smiling like a chesire cat on weed

Well £50 for a Redline complete even if it's one of the late 80's early 90's aint bad BUT as you said you could be looking at something a lil nicer cant wait for the pics LOVE A REDLINE ME

Cool run about......I'd lose the seatpost though

Yeah the seat post is the first thing ill be changing and the seat too may be a red one, then once it needs new tyres Im thinking red rubber
