When I was a kid, I dreamed of owning a California Red Redline RL20II. I found a white one a while back for a pretty decent price. It had a horrible paint job, was a little beat up, and begged for some TLC.

So what else to do but dial up the Redline JediMaster, RL20IIGuy. I explained exactly how I envisioned the restored bike to look, and boy did he deliver far beyond my expectations. I can't wait to finish her up, and put on the Chrome Super Pro's and final parts. Stephen, I can't thank you enough for helping me make this happen.

So here is a before and after picture of where we stand. I'll post some more pics when she's fully assembled. I hope you guys approve so far

looks great Redlines Rule

did you have the rear triangle chromed ??

Thanks. The whole bike was actually rechromed, and powdered/cleared over that.

how much was the frame to chrome and where did u get it done?


looks beautiful man. love rl-20II's!

RL-20IIGuy restored the bike for me. Hit him up a PM if you're interested and I'm sure he'd be happy to discuss pricing for your project with you.

APPROVE !!!!! like I've said before.... the ONLY way I'd like it any better is, if it were sitting in my living room !!! you all are doing a GREAT job on that !!! arewethereyet, arewethereyet ?!?!?!!!!!

Looking very good. Big difference

Very Nice!

That is a beautiful scheme, Looks like you just walked outta the bike store in the 80's with that sucker.

definitly went rad on that one
good job

awesome looks soo freakin rad....the jedimaster scores again nice job stephen, Demark great color choice....Rob

Thanks Rob. Anyone have direct links to purchase 20 X1.75 gumwall tires, any freestyle gumwalls like the panaracers would be fine. I was also thinking of maybe doing white walls like my trickstar. What do you guys think? With the the white on the decals, it might work.

Man, that is really making me want to build up my Cali Red '86 RL20II. Coming soon . . . (Hope it ends up looking as good as yours!!)

Build that bad boy up! Thanks again everyone for the compliments. If anyone has that link to proper tires, feel free to share

not bad...

actually what i ment to say was....
that is so awsome...great job stephen

Good year. I love 990s. If you're looking for acceptable looking ridable street gumwalls, Kenda K55 do the job.

Here ya go. I have a set and I love 'em. Awesome tires, just like Panaracers w/same tread pattern (probably same mold, they sell these things like baseball cards in Korea/Taiwan/whatever). Stronger modern sidewall.
