I finally got round to doing the RL20 to how it should look

, still need some Grafights and a plain Aero seat but it don't look to bad as is

How it arrived many years ago

Then i did this to it

Thanks for looking

Paul

You beat me to it!

I bought Matt dubs frame and am doing exactly the same job on it - as per the ad...

your's is spot on, Snav, there isnt much to improve, and i hope mine looks half as good.... (my tuffs are fooked, but thats another story)

I'm just glad you have done yours so well... and done it justice.

top job fella ,a real labour of love to get her like that.

snav69 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 25, 2008, 04:22 PM »

Thanks again for your comments

I do believe they are rare over here and i understand they only did a limited number of the first version (without the for pegs/holes) which this is . I had the pads custom made as per the AD as they normally had the stars all the way round the frame pad and have to applaud Steve (Firebird) for putting up with my demands

Also a big thanks to Del for doing the bar becals once i had found images of them

CD17 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 25, 2008, 05:59 PM »

It is

, during my research it seems that it was a more than likely a black fluted seatpost in the advert and if you look at the ad and my first pic they look identical and in the ad the seatpost don't look silver/chrome at all if you take a look at the suntour seatclamp for comparison

Its an easy change if its wrong

ron burgundy · « **Reply #16 on:** October 25, 2008, 06:38 PM »

It'll be a chrome Redline fluted cromo post in the advert. looks good with black aswell though

Cool build

snav69 · « **Reply #17 on:** October 25, 2008, 06:46 PM »

I thought it was a chrome one originally then saw on bmx museum that someone said it was a black one $:-\$ then i got a full size ad and went with the black

its easy enough to get a coloured fluted and strip it though

baldbmxer · « **Reply #18 on:** October 25, 2008, 07:25 PM »

Oh yeah!...... I'm loving that

DIRTBIKER250F · « **Reply #19 on:** October 25, 2008, 08:21 PM »

B.O.T.Y and will get my vote.

Mattdub · « **Reply #20 on:** October 25, 2008, 08:37 PM »

Lookin' very good

, those Tuffs are hurting my eyes !

I'd go chrome fluted post , Redline or Tange as an alternative

The seat you want is a Redline stamped Aero , easy to find !!!

( bloody nightmare I'd think ) .

snav69 · « **Reply #21 on:** October 25, 2008, 08:45 PM »

Cheers Matt

chrome fluted post , Redline or Tange
