« on: October 25, 2008, 03:24 PM »
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



and now it looks like this  :smitten:  :smitten:  :smitten:











Thanks for looking  :)

Thanks again for your comments  :angel: 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  :4_17_5: Also a big thanks to Del for doing the bar becals once i had found images of them  :daumenhoch:

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  :daumenhoch:

Its an easy change if its wrong  ;)

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  :daumenhoch:

Lookin' very good  :4_17_5: , those Tuffs are hurting my eyes !  :LolLolLolLol:

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

The seat you want is a Redline stamped Aero , easy to find !!!  :D ( bloody nightmare I'd think ) .
