About 80-81 or so.  Not made by VDC.

RRS (Riverside Redlands Schwinn) were way ahead of their time.  They came out with the first 24" cruiser while everyone else was running 26"  The RRS also had vertical dropouts, and an eccentric bottom bracket

sweet build rick, like them forks and the track hubs. Are they record or c-record. them c-records are pretty sought after in the states by the old school track/road guys.

They are regular track Records.  The C-Records came out later.  However, I'm working on a build which will have a set of 28 hole C-Records.  they are the best looking hubs in the world in my opinion.

daz bmx it!
