BIG Question - I don't usually give it a second thought - 'Build it & Ride it!' is the standard choice for me:

Redline 600b Nos in the box, arrived about 20 minutes ago.......

loft it

Yup carefully put it back in the box and put it up in the loft and forget about it for a few years. Nice score

weld pegs on it, spray it with hammerite, put stickers on it that say "BMXTREME"

Definately build it with all NOS parts, put it in a room, look at it, but never ride it!

No point having it, unless you're gonna appreciate it!

too nice to ride

Put it back in the box and send it to my house

Nice one that, all the way from the east, you beat my snipe

Honest I would put it back in the box and loft it and if you see the bits for it then buy em and loft them too

The Serial No. is RC 11246

If there's a factory spec. sheet build it NOS accordingly

It'll take time

But it'll be mucho nice

silentpartner · « **Reply #14 on:** June 27, 2006, 06:21 PM »

bodamus · « **Reply #15 on:** June 27, 2006, 06:33 PM »

I say get it built to the original spec then hang it on the wall.

gmac · « **Reply #16 on:** June 27, 2006, 07:00 PM »

Poke it

Waxintaxin · « **Reply #17 on:** June 27, 2006, 07:10 PM »

Lol , its something to ponder for sure mate

i would normally be with you and build her up to nos spec , BUT i have started to look at this long term ( its taken 4 years lol ) i like the idea of cabinet cos i know you would do a blinder and the fact that there are not many like it makes it special

i have always been in the build it up and at least have a little go round the track camp

but am understanding the keep it original brigade a little better lately

Put it back in the box & don't build it.

It is far to rare to build..

Bren Gunn · « **Reply #19 on:** June 27, 2006, 08:36 PM »

Put it in a display cabinet, along with the box (the box would pull good money on it's own), and add a couple of other Redline bits for extra eye candy... Black Brute... Redline post... STR bars... Flights...

Or you could just build it to ride and use the box to light the barbie...
