Well, I have been sitting on this one for a long time, and I have not built a bike for ages.

Here is how I got it, Brought over from New Zealand minus wheels and seat by my elder brother.

A few pics.

So 2 weeks ago, I blasted it

Then Started to Paint it...

Painted

Decals

Also got a few choice bits for it including:

Some VERY nice cranks

and these NOS and RARE puppies.

I know the colours are not original to the year, but I think it looks very good.

Yes, but its for a U brake. Check out in the first photo, the brake mounts are above the tire.
A U-brake, under the seat stay? That will never catch on

Because the voice in my head tells me I am normal, so I try to not be normal to cancell out the voice telling me I am normal.

Is this normal?

Very nice mate, what year did Redline make this f&f then? It looks a bit like a redline prototype that was in the US mags in 85

What a great name for a cat......ripper.......like it

I went for a safe name for mine........................Dave

ORB · « **Reply #20 on:** June 03, 2008, 08:05 PM »

Yeah, it is an 88' Redline RL20-II

Ripper, sunday name = 'P.K. RIPPER'

didn't redlines come with a 5inch headtube on them?- bars would be nice and high with a rotor on i bet
