Tribute Redline Looptail.

The first looptail bmx was made in late 73-4 for Rick Twomey of Rick's Bike Shop team by Redline. Rick was the Grandfather of BMX. Helping start not only now famed riders but bikes too. Two bikes made. One exists and in a private collection. The other lost or stolen. Reason for the big loops. It's all Redline had to make their speedway bike frames.
This frame and forks are a copy of the original survivor. I saw it was for sale and had a plan.
The #12 on the plate was Rick's motoX race number.

Parts are:

Full cromo frame and forks, powdercoated candy red.
Decals by John Dalingwater.
Araya moped rims with Shimano MX hubs and 105 spokes.
Cheng Shin front 20 x 2.125.
Super rare Paragon Stud rear 20 x 2.125.
Unknown bars.
OGK grips.
Redline Gen1 Proline stem.
Persons, Schwinn stingray seat.
Cut down sissy bars.
Wald seatpost.
Schwinn seat clamp
Schwinn sweetheart chainwheel.
Schwinn crank dated 74.
Rat trap pedals.
DID nickel chain.
Schwinn BB
Schwinn headset.
NOS red pads.

I second that emotion - MK builds galore. Hopefully. I'm torn already between the two of em.
