Hey Ratty,

Interested in a set of these for your MXII build? I produced these from my NOS MXII - 100% accurate! Full wraparound and USA CroMo sticker too! Plus u get Red & White fork decals. White backed Headtube decal as well!
Tried selling them on ebay a while back and was threatened with a lawsuit by Seattle Bike Supply so had to pull them! Pissed me off cos the "Official" Redline sticker sets are all shit... none of their sets for any Redline models are accurate at all. Graphically incorrect and as some of you have found out, don't even fit! I did some correctly sized RL20 Prostyler sets too but didn't get slapped for them for some reason?? Sold some of them to a few guys here on RAD. Done some Powerlitedecals for a resto I sold here and Scorpion Decals (for MartyC).

Wadda ya think?

Cheers
John

Hey GT,

Yeh I'm probably going to do those decals pictured! Are they originals? Not sure because the downtube decals shown aren't a one piece wraparound sticker?? The trick is trying to get hold of something original to work over! I usually carefully peel any damaged decals off the frame/forks, stick the remains down flat on card, scan em and work over them. I don't see the point in working over reproductions as they usually aren't right!

I don't suppose you kept the remains of the ones you peeled off your frameset did you? It doesn't matter if parts are missing!

Cheers

John

forgot to mention that the seat tube sticker on that set i got pictured, is the one piece wrap around. it was quite a good copy. just a shame the right people won't do it properly and thus force us to find our own means  :idiot2:

I can get you the wrap around originals off my frame set to copy, see pics earlier in thread.  Its only the fork stickers that are missing.
Just pm me your address John.

thirtysix if you can make me 2  85 pl 'redline' stickers which are actually the correct length i will be over the moon and will recomend your skills to the muppets at redline who don't seem to even have tape measures at their prestigeous offices :rant:
anyway pm me if you can do them they are the downtube ones and i may even treat me old m8 grem to some too im sure he would fancy a set :daumenhoch:

It will be nice when we could have a choice of top notch decal sets. Whether they be licenced or moody  :daumenhoch:
I still prefer to eventually have the yellow/red fade set on my frame and forks. 8)  nudge, nudge  ::)

It's going to be cool to see these Prolines coming together. Especially with different colour combo's in the pipeline too.  :)  G.  ;)

Just to add to this thread, My PL20 raced the British championships yesterday, and survived, not bad for a 25 year old bike, made a few people look  :2funny:

600a is a model based on the mxIII frame set which came out in late 1982. the grey/black pads would be correct. there's a good write up of it in the december 1982 issue of BMXA magazine  :daumenhoch:

nice one Ron  :smitten:

We've a nice collection of Redlines coming together now  :daumenhoch:
I still haven't topped my Proline build off with it's chain yet. I think i'd prefer to wait til i pick up a 44t bubble script chainring first.
Get your pics fired up Kang m8. The more the merrier  ;)    Grem'.  :D
