Hello everyone, I’ve got the itch to restore a vintage Redline. The question that I have is, I found this one locally and I’ve never heard of a Revolution series Redline. Was this an entry level or top of the line level bike in its day? Thx

That's not a Redline, that's a Beatles' song!

Never heard of it either. But if it's a Redline from 1985, there should be RL engraved somewhere or maybe even a RL hotdog style logo.

Only talked to the guy over the phone. He said it has" Redline " ingraved in the bottom of the crank housing. Chrome frame and forks. Should it have a number stamped into the frame to verify the year and model?

Here is a pic of the bike. Looks like it has a bunch of cheap gear on it but, the frame is my concern.

Proline II that someone added stickers to. High line bike. Nice find!

Where can I find a list of original parts that this bike was born with. Is it an 85 model?

And is this a Carrera II? Thx

"Carrera" was the name of the complete bike, not the frameset. the frame name for 1983-86 version was "PL-20".

Thank you...............
