3pc cranks, 990 mounts on the fork, built in gyro tabs, Odyssey cables, chrome rims. Whip looks sick now and it was definitely sick back then
Redline was a massive brand in the 80’s but by the 90’s and beyond (this is a late 90’s bike) their popularity had dropped a lot with brands like Hoffman, standard, S&m and more being the cooler brands of the time, with compete bike from
Haro and gt rounding out the overall popularity.
Having said that, there’s nothing wrong with it at all. S.E kinda the same really their heyday was the 80’s and today they’re barely a bmx brand and just bang the s.e name on wheelie bikes.
Edit – a closer look rims appear to be araya himiko’s those are a late 90’s early 2000’s rim and quite desirable for collectors as araya closed down not long after.
That redline was the hot ticket way way back when I was a kid. I’m old and that bike is definitely old. I would say worth a good chunk of change to a collector. Brings back memories. Beautiful bike btw.
Edit: I read some other post maybe it not as old as I thought. Was thinking the frame was from the 80s and it just had some newer parts. Either way still fun to look at and bring back memories.
For dirt jumping.
I know what the “Redline” is trying to be but what in the heck am I really looking at here?
It’s not an 85/86 but something closer to 2000s
Are those xs huckers? Best tires I ever ran. Set lasted me 2 years. Broke my heart when schwinn went under… nice ride dude!
The red Redline is a late 90’s FS 860.
If your old man is ever looking to part ways with that redline, I’m in the market.
There’s lots of money sitting right there. Nice bike!
Yes, but not what Its dressed as. That’s dressed like a ’85-86 RL20ii, but bigger. Thing about 80s bmx, as a new school rider myself, they seemed to be ample for everything. Now this Is nice, but notice thicker tubing and longer geo, probably better for dirt/street
