I stand to be corrected but that looks like redlines freestyler, the RL20... quite sought after on here, I believe it was Redlines first freestyle bike, Brengun or Matdub will confirm it though, glad you finally sorted the pics out

Looks like the second version of the RL20 , about 85 as it has the stunt peg holes in the forks . Strip the paint and get it powdered white , will look the mutts nuts

Snav, I agree about the forks, but the frame looks like the first RL20!!!

I agree tony , what i meant to say was the second version of the first one

where they kept the frame but changed the forks

The second version had a twin toptube i believe $:-\$

Yep ,

non platform ( stupid add on bits ) frame with peg forks . The pegs have been re-popped in the US because originals are a little rare !

. I have an RL20 decal set if you want it

. I have a white front Tuff II also if you're interested

aah yes, very nice fellas

i don't know anything about the FS frames. were redline pioneers here as well?
what was the frame that had the double top tube that wrapped around the head tube?

snav69 · « **Reply #43 on:** December 01, 2006, 10:10 PM »

LOL Tony , seems like we like getting the redlines out at every opportunity

gt0733 , the twin toptube that wraps around the headtube is an RL20 too , its an RL20 II i believe , Bren Gunn will confirm this when he sees the thread
