Anyone get the Redline on eBay?

[WINI]

I think he was hoping it would go through the roof looking at his additional comments, but went for a good price in the end.

   what a shame hey 

[brass monkey!]

did you get it Rob?

I think it was a rare 85/6 RL20 II

My bid was just under the winning bid...., and it was not far from me too 

[Jaan]

Some lucky bugg3r got a real bargain there  

[wildon]

I'd have had a go at that if i'd seen it  

[pickle]

No Matt, it's not a Skyway    other than the seat of course

[brass monkey!]

what's its true value then?


never seen one for sale in the UK before, only US or AUS...., think F&F's go for $600 or so over there..?

[glenboy]

$600 is at the low end of the scale. Chrome $1000+.  Theres a white f&f without the chrome rear triangle for sale at the moment for $1000 (all USD)

[Betty]

I didn't think the stem was high enough so decided not to bid

  I'm laughing to myself in Starbucks - getting shifty looks

[kalex]

i made an offer and he said that he had alot more already on the table.

[Jaymz]

Stella Artois / araya / race inc won it, but walked away

Cool frame and fork set. Prices vary depending on year. There are several in the UK.

Serial number looks wrong.

Was it a cut n shut?

[Gary72]

Saw that, Never bid, Only 10 mins away from me aswell. Wonder if it came from Superbike in Ilford?

[Swivel]

We got it in the end, I say we, my neighbour Paul and I, joint project for MK, both wanted one so gone in as a partnership on this, Stella (jason) walked away, we stepped in and bought it last night. I have the serial here RE003440 (subwax goes over it here, looks like its an 85: http://www.vintagebmx.com/community/lofiversion/index.php/t3009821.html), underneath is the redline oval stamp, all looks legit. Chrome is shot but condition overall is fine, we will aim to get it rechromed soon, polishing will be a bugger though with those top tubes. Will also strip and sell most/all of the bits from it to get some dosh back for the rechrome. Certainly isn't a cut/shot job. Will keep you lot posted

[WINI]

Nice one Matt, glad to see you got it, now do it some justice
