Hey Spud ,

Get in welcome & say hi then post a pic

RD = 1984 I think

Redline Serial Dates

81-RA
82-RB
83-RC
84-RD
85-RE

Sounds Like a RL20 or PL20 to me, but the only way to really tell is to see some photos and to tell us the measurement from the 'centre' of the seattube to the 'centre' of the headtube.

PS: welcome to Rad

It's funny that about 6 months ago there wasn't that many Redlines on here (only a handful in the museum). They seem to be coming out of the woodwork at the moment.

Which is both good and bad.

RATTY · « **Reply #11 on:** November 30, 2006, 11:30 AM »

It can only be good Jim, I know it will push prices up but we need more survivors found, and more future radsters to join the fold

jimwise68 · « **Reply #12 on:** November 30, 2006, 11:32 AM »

Tone, it's all good. The more saved the better. Just wish I could find one tucked away somewhere.

Or knew of the damn warehouse in Mexico were all the OS stuff is.

Im still up for a road trip mate, we could ship a 40 footer back, with a couple of VWs in to pay for the shipping

jimwise68 · « **Reply #14 on:** November 30, 2006, 12:14 PM »

Could be worth some investigation.

theRuler · « **Reply #15 on:** November 30, 2006, 04:21 PM »

my friend has this one:

last time i saw him a few months back he was really hyped to restore it, and we stripped it, and i spent 70 quid on the wheels, rebuilding them with new suzue hubs, spokes, freewheel. havent heard from him since. he owes me 70 quid too

i reckon he would part with the lot

the chrome is shot (redline style) but its not had much use. just spent some time in the garden

Good mid sized Expert Race bike the ST20 was

RATTY · « **Reply #17 on:** November 30, 2006, 04:39 PM »

ive thought about one of them, a few have come up for sale, I wanted an MX2 but they are silly short for me, so that one would be rideable....good project though, nice brute stem

diesel · « **Reply #18 on:** November 30, 2006, 04:52 PM »

oooooh:

That's just like this one, its still sitting in its box in the house somewhere?

RATTY · « **Reply #19 on:** November 30, 2006, 05:05 PM »

That is a nice set diesel, in fact very nice, just cant justify the monies

jimwise68 · « **Reply #20 on:** November 30, 2006, 05:05 PM »

welcome to the redline gang, spud. post up your pics mate so's we can attempt to id it for ya.

you're right ratty, Pl24 (white F/F with black components) is on the shopping list. the problem is it could be rarer than the pad set i've got

RATTY · « **Reply #23 on:** December 01, 2006, 12:50 AM »

I know a certain member on here has a rather special pl24 in chrome, complete with correct padset. It is bloody lovely. I just gotta save up and make nhim another offer....
