Man that is a sweet Redline.... yum yum!!!

My PL-20 is at the chrome platers as we speak, though I'm going down to inspect the polishing before the plating just to make sure it's a minter.... there's some tricky areas to plate on these frames, mainly under the gussets - plus mine has the annoying triangle plate behind the seat clamp area which will need carefull attention me thinks!

I'll post up some pics when it's back from the platers.

Not managed to find any original Red & Black with the white outline decals as yet though... slippery lil suckers to find they are!!

So what's occouring then lads?  Slipping down through the pages here  :-X

No real update on mine as yet. I've decided i'm not topping the build off until i manage to aquire a 44t bubble script chainring.
I want it to be finished right and it keeps the hunt and the project going a little longer  :coolsmiley:

Any news on your builds peeps?  Pics?     Gav.  :daumenhoch:   


update............my frame and fork are away being repaired and powdered. i'm waiting for some bits from vert-ego and then it's all over and i'll have to start another one  ;D

My Proline has just gone onto Ebay, reluctantly.... i have been looking at it and wanting to restore it for the last year but just have'nt had the time.  However I did dig out my brothers old MK II from the folks loft last week.  That is complete in Candy red and original stickers.  It is an interesting looking bike...with good spec, gold components, Uni Turbo Seat etc....I will get some photos posted of it soon.

Kowalski, well done on the build, brilliant job!!

Its gonna be roughly around the £200 mark I would think.  Had a couple of buy it now offers in that area.
What do you recon?

That MK II is the one I was asking you about last year, I was not sure exactly what it was at the time.  We had 2 BITD, there should be a white one somewhere too.  Just frame and forks tho as it was stripped back then for my MP20.

Tbh, I think the price is reasonable, well maybe slightly high, but worth it....

I cant wait to see the pics of the MX2, I have got a white one now but I dont have the time or money to finish it yet :-\

i think they are rarer than the xcII's because there are less sets advertised.  it didn't really take long to find them on ebay, but lets just say i made sure i won them  ;)

"suntour" search on worldwide ebay brings up some nice finds.

This is the guy I used:

S.H metal finishing, Unit 3 145 old lane (off ashton road) Openshaw, Manchester. 0161 371 1876 ask for Len

Yeh... it looks just as good in the flesh!!!  A couple of tiddly bits here and there but I am a fussy f****r. Just the odd small area of "golding in the tight spots.

I have to say I spent a day on it myself too, polishing in all the nooks and crannys where Len's polishing wheels couldn't get in!
He's a top bloke though and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him.

Not sure whether I'm going to go with the Red, white and black Proline II decals or the Red - Yellow fade PL-20 ones?? Which ones I go for will dictate the colour scheme of the bike me thinks!!

Cheers for your appreciation fellas!!
