Just been givin a pic, which you PL20 lovers will enjoy, it was taken in 1982 in Ipswich, It features Keith Wilson, riding Stu Tompsens bike which Keith was given as part of the deal, Me getting T boned, mine has tuffs on, and Tony Slater, riding for Diamond Back but hated the frames.

A long time ago, in a land far away!

The only surviving frame is the one being ridden by Tony Slater (Diamond Back) He brought it over to show us a couple of months ago, still in reasonable condition, loose ball flites with odd pedals ::)
I cant remember how I got on after gettin bittin by them two, but I doubt I escaped that :-\ worse than 796 with attitude :shocked:

Nothing wrong with the decals ;), here's my pl20 with 800p decals.
Wanted to do something different to the norm, 800p should really have chrome forks/ rear stays.
Change of pedals and stem then it 's finished 8)



yeah that looks nice, b45t4rd.
i'm thinking of doing the turquoise with chrome fork and rear triangle.

i missed on the "tab" forklifters on ebay........bummer  :'(  i put in a solid bid as well.

Getting a cheap set of forklifters is what caused me to go down this route! I wish I had the time and money to do the chrome ends,
 looks like it's up to you ;)
1986 catalogue link in case nobody has seen it.

Get it chromed and then powder coat over the top, easy for me to say, This new builds gonna clean me out.

GT I missed out on some Redline pants the other week, paypal account was too low on funds. They weren't JT Racing though, can't see anyone removing the JT logo. Did anyone else make copies?, or they were possibly a Redline customer product. I can fit into a 30" waist still so could get away with large childs size. :P

More questions which is correct reach brake for Proline MX900 or MX1000. I'm off to the motorcyle breakers looking for rusty levers off Hondas. :idiot2: The one on my 84 Honda CR250RE is alloy! :'(

thanks for that b45t4rd, excellent link. those forklifters aren't cheap anymore  :'(

not sure on the pants. they could have been JT in the early years then moved to MAX about '82 ish. i'll have to check my mags to see. some of the pros had their own sponsors as well. so Stu may have been MAX and Ruminer JT.

I run MX1000s on mine, I dont think the 900s will reach properly.  :daumenhoch: and tbh Im sure there was a sponsorship clash where they wouldnt run Dia compe, Brenn will be the one to correct me ::)

Stus bike would have been 1981, I think Suntour was the main team sponsor, I cant remember suntour making brakes, but Im probably wrong :daumenhoch:

It says May 80 on bottom of page and Dia Compe in brake spec. Anyway I still need a whole bike minus f+f yet so no biggy. I bought this in case of emergency,(not finding STR V bars) no the Brute and DX's aren't included.

The build I'm doing the posts crossed each other. OOPS I've not got a squareback, thought it was same as a 79 pad. Nice score though?

Help has anyone got dimensions of STR V bar think I've found a set but they're anodised. :-\   The width is 27" and from bottom of bars to lower part of V is 7". Never seen anodised ones though!

Ally V bars pop up reasonably regular , dimensions are smaller though .

The standard Redlines are 23" wide are they known as Microline bars, or just Redline V's, didn't Kusuki make them and they're usually stickered Redline. My memory ain't what it was. :idiot2:
