I want to have this done for summer for my boy...What year?Model is this,and I know it looks like poop,it was painted with a brush,and I saved it from the garbage!Thanks alot!I can see a 20 on the seat tube?




mr coasterbrake
can't tell the model, but it's a 1992.

Ok,20th anny....The 20 makes more sense.

How would I tell the model?
mr coasterbrake
i don't have any of my old dealer catalogs from that time period anymore, so we'll need some others to help out.

first step to narrow it down is to check under the BB shell and see if it's stamped anything like "full crmo" or "tri-moly" ...or something along those lines.

it looks like the original finish is a black/green splatter. that may help, too.

Were they painted over chrome(its nice under there)?The green/black looks like a brush job.The way alot of bikes that end up at the scrap yard are..You know,stolen 15 years ago sad.gif

Only thing on the bb shell is T10041319 Nothing else.It has red line stamped on both drops and an RL on the headtube gusset.
mr coasterbrake
no, those woulda been just paint.

redline had a bunch of splatter jobs that kinda looked done with a brush (maybe the splatters were?). does that black/green look original (does it look like that under the decals)?
mr coasterbrake
maybe a better question:

does the green splat look fairly consistent?

Looks like a 92'420,because it has a six-bolt stem...and the 320 comes with a 4 bolt.Thanks man!

Now,where to get stickers?
superboosted
Definitely all-chrome... biggrin.gif You have been a great help!And I remember the splatter jobs! laugh.gif

Now to get it cleaned/built up,so I can ride it!It'll be all old school at this house this summer!
