redline chainwheel 'bubble' version?

[adenough]

hi, can anyone tell me what a bubble version of the above chain wheel is plz?

this is mine

[brass monkey!]

the wording REDLINE is in a different font to the later one's ie: It is rounder, (like bubble writing) rather than the later straight edge REDLINE writing version - if that makes any sence ??

best person to ask is RATTY (Tony) - he's the 'FONT' (excuse the pun) when is comes to everything redline

Yep, that's a bubble script one 

The fuss is that they are quite rare although I have two of them so perhaps not that rare 

[adenough]

   dollars?

[RATTY]

Hi Fog, got your message.... What Marty said 

[DR VINOAH]

if me memory serves me

redline ran with this "bubble script" font as their company logo

from 76 to 82/83

where they changed to the more modern futuristic logo
and changed the colours from red/black/white to red/black/grey

although the script on the chainrings changed around the early 90,s

is this right ron burgundy?

[adenough]

cheers, are they woth anything?

[MartyC]

cheers, are they woth anything?

I've seen a good condition one not polished go for around the £50 mark, polished around £75 but that was on gaybay 

[DR VINOAH]

sentimental value as much as anything else for me

[DR VINOAH]

I do tend to agree with you there Ron, I have one of each, a polished one and OE - the OE one is the one I have kept from bitd so it's 100% OE and owned by me for the last 25 years    the polished one is for a later build I am doing so it should really be the later script but I like the bubble script so opted for that.

[GREMLIN]

Hey fellas.
With all these bubble script chainwheels floating around below the surface, it'd be nice to be given the nod if any become available in 42-44t.
I've a later, polished 45t one here. But it doesn't fit my build era.  Thanx    G.
