Result if you ask me. The forks alone are worth that!

I love a Redline Carrera me...

GREMLIN · « **Reply #7 on:** June 10, 2007, 08:39 PM »

I'm pretty chuffed with picking it up. To be honest i had no real idea on it's worth etc, just thought it had to be a half bargain at that price.

I've been on the lookout for a new build over the past week and this one popped up this morning. Am def looking forward to this new project.
I don't actually have much of an idea on the parts for it... Anyone have a pic of a proline (brute) stem i could get a look at please?
Thanx, G.

jimwise68 · « **Reply #8 on:** June 10, 2007, 08:46 PM »

Have a trawl or search through the tech and resto section. I had the same prob when I build mine, there are loads of pics on there.

There are usually a few Brute stems on ebay.com too

You will love it Grem, you should have grabbed the pad he has as well, they can be bloody hard to track down

I did consider it bud. I don't mind paying plenty out for parts, but £50 for a single pad seemed a bit o.t.t. Especially then having to track down the other two for the set. I'll see how it goes in time me thinks. G

RATTY · « **Reply #14 on:** June 10, 2007, 09:49 PM »

It is well worth the money, the original sets can cost up to £200, and I have only seen one set in the UK in the last 12 months!!
Why not contact the seller and see if he is up for a bid

GREMLIN · « **Reply #15 on:** June 10, 2007, 09:53 PM »

I may have a pop at sorting a deal on the pad. How to be sure it's not a repro tho? G

RATTY · « **Reply #16 on:** June 10, 2007, 09:55 PM »

tbh, even a repop will set you back good money, offer him 35/40 quid, might get it at that

GREMLIN · « **Reply #17 on:** June 10, 2007, 09:59 PM »

I've messaged the seller. I'll have to see now if they're up for some kind of light haggling

Worth a try anyhow

It's hard to put a price on the pads, cos they don't come up very often. So £50 for a pad does seem expensive, but if it is in good condition and original, GET IT. I've seen single five popper frame pads go for £100

GREMLIN · « **Reply #19 on:** June 10, 2007, 10:12 PM »

I'll let you know if i get a favourable reply

. That's if nobody hits the Buy it now button. Will see

RATTY · « **Reply #20 on:** June 10, 2007, 10:16 PM »

I nearly did get it myself, but I need to watch the pennies now

gt0733 · « **Reply #21 on:** June 10, 2007, 10:30 PM »

nice score grem. they are an excellent FF set for older folks as a rider too. that pad price is about right. i bought one on the bay last month for more than that but it was nos. the hardest one to find is the stem pad with the correct font. check my avatar as thats the one you'll need.
i wouldn't be surprised if your serial starts with "RB" or "RC" as yours has the BB brace. 1981 (RA) models didn't have that brace.

in case you havn't seen it here's mine although this is an old pic, i've since updated but havn't got newer pics yet.
