When did the redline forklifter stem come out

[glenboy]

As above when did the redline forklifter stem come out you generally see it on 85/86/87 bikes but I read that it came out earlier sort if 84 can anybody clarify this thanks

I'm sure it came out summer of '84. I first saw the them in Freestylin' Magazine (Vol 1 No 3) as part of the Redline Prostyler test. See below:

Cheers yes I reckon that most of the bikes catalogues for 85 bikes were probably printed in 84

I had one in 84. It was ordered in specially by the LBS
