Has anyone got a test of the Redline PL24 that they can post up please??? One from 83 would be best(because that's the year model that i have)
But any of the early one's would be fine....
Did they come out with these decals in 83???

Thanks.......... Scotty

Sorry about the bad pic

I remember a cruiser shootout in VBMX with the PL, the GHP cruiser and a few others, but I think that was from '85.

Did Bicycle Motocross Action ever do a test on them???? Does anyboby know if these decals were on the 83 models???? Did they ever come out with the 81 Carrera type decals???? I'm going to build this bike totally era correct(i bought it like this)
so i really need to know the type of decals that came on them.....
Thanking you in advance....
Scotty

those look like the decals for sale here, they're listed as 1985
bmxstop.com

In the museum there is two bikes from 81 that have these same decals , also there are another two bikes(with no year model) with the decals with the colored square on them..... I've seen a perfect looking PL24 posted on here(i forget the owner)
that had those Carrera looking decals on it......
Thanks for your quick reply Ringer......

Meatpie,
BMXA did an early review of the 1983 PL24 before it went into production. I have the mag but my kids just broke my printer/scanner. The only person riding one at the time was DD Leone. The sticker kit on the 1983 PL24 has the same downtube, headtube, and fork stickers as the 1985 kits you can buy. The seatmast and chainstay stickers were different.

I decided to go with the carrera stickers instead. DD used a similar kit on his. I just don't like the pl24 stickers on chrome. On white the look amazing but on chrome I prefer the carrera.

I was just reading a BMXA from 1981 and in the new product section they had a ProLine 24 Race and Proline 24 Street. The f/f look exactly like the PL24 but had Carrera stickers on it with full size V-bars and a brute stem.

So basically if you have an 1983, you need to make it either a 1985 or a 1981.

Hope this helps.

I just sold my 1983 PL-24 and here's some photos of it for you to check out the original stickers and locations.

That is a pretty amazing OG PL24 you had there. They are pretty cool 24's. What do they ride like?

I will post some pics of my 83 today as well

you may check out on bmxmuseum.com. go into the site and on the left there are letters. click on the R and it will list bikes the start with that letter. go to Redline and the list all bike of members by year. there has to be one on there from '83 I would guess. hope that helps.

Mike, they ride great. Feels like a 20" except for the bars. I have KOS bars on mine and don't think they have enough rake.

Here we are...

somebody already posted it kindly somewhere ..












And here is mine, soon to be built

Here's mine, from VintageRedline.com : )

Here is mine. I ride it whenever I can.

I've had a couple of PL24's here's my previous one:



Both were/are 1983's with the black & grey decals

Is that LarryS's old one? I always admired that PL24. PL24's are very cool cruisers!
