I found this Redline today. This guy had tons of old bikes some of them BMX. The problem is they are under Semi Trailers in thick Grass and Thousand of hornets.
I am a Hutch collector and really know nothing about other bikes.
Can someone tell me a little bit about this Redline? Model and year maybe. I tried doing a search here and it looks like a MX-3.
Can anyone confirm.
No cracks or dents.
Thanks for your help. Jason

I don't think this frame was built in the 90's! The frame is very heavy compaired to a hutch. They would have used less/cheaper tubing on a frame built in the 90's.
Cr-Mo stamp on the crank is very old school.
The bike was found with mid school Mongoose wheels, tires and Chain Ring that were put on much later.
There is a serial number on the BB. which is very hard to read AORSN01091. W/no logo stamp
Also what is much different from any pics I saw is the rear drop outs have a rounded half moon shape
Sorry about the pics I will try to posted better pics now that the frame was disassembled.
Thanks, Jason

Although the new pics posted are a little better there not great! I need to get a new camera. Anyway, Maybe others can now confirm based on the new pics inserted into the original links.
There is a nice guy sellling a frame similar on the bay now. It has the same Snow cone dropouts and he also reports the frame tubing is different. However my frame doesn't have the tube across for a kick stand. See link

Thanks, Jason

Not 80s I'm afraid.
They were not stamped with the Redline logo as that frame is.
