Need help with this one - if it isn't a Redline its going back to the person that sold it as one. I'm no expert with Redlines !?!

there should be a redline logo and serial number under the BB, or 1985 (could be 1986) the serial number was on the rear dropouts.
the bottom pic is upside down.

None of that - serial on the BB is WB00013. the gusset is what makes it seem like a Redline.......but the little nick taken out of it is not so Redline
see

I think therefore its a Nishiki?

Strange that two of these have cropped up in the same week. Just though I'd mention this was the only BMX board that has identified it. Thanks to all who confirmed my suspicions. I bought it to bum around on but maybe I should take more care of it.......I never heard of them back in the 80s.

You win some you lose some, it cost me £20 at my local used bike shop, bit of paint and it sold well, you'll probably end up making it look better than i did Charles

How much are Nishiki's worth then so i can cry into my pint
Charles I think you got a good deal, if you seriously want to get it back to me i'll honour a refund, otherwise enjoy your ride

Vegan,
If it was a complete dud I would return it however since it has some historical value and I can't face driving to central south east London again I'll start stripping it down and buff it up. I don't know what it is worth - as much as someone who wants its prepared to pay I suppose.......either way it is an 80s BMX.
