I had one of the original Turquoise RL 20 II's with no chrome on the chain/seat stays or fork. It was solid turquoise


Are you saying it came from the factory like this?
Hmmm...

Pauly...that's exactly what I'm saying! You've never seen any of the solid colored frame & fork RL20II's? They were the earliest editions and I bought mine as a combo...f/f/bars & stem. I don't have it anymore, so I can't officially join the club (totally bummed about that), but here is a shot of me and it BITD...


and here's one with me and Eddie Fiola at the Pipeline...

I second the motion on the forklifter stem. I think they are different from the frame and bars. If a guy was going to get a frame / fork / stem and bars done by Chip, I think he would be very happy. The Radberry really is different in almost every pic/video. ( take a look at the RL footage in JOE KID, his bike looks pink. Bottom line is, I think there are very few NOS parts around ( REDLINE ) so I don't think its a big deal.

When you look at my bike in person, it is REALLY hard to tell the difference, only in the sun, and since I live in Edmonton, we wont really see the sun until April. CHip does a good job.

I will actually be able to join the R.L club after the new year.

P.S if anyone has a set of fork pegs please let me know.

Rob-

That is one of the best examples I have seen of the retro RL-20 II execution, really nice job.

I did one in classic white, but I am digging that red!

Here is a real nice retro RL20II built by Ironhide. He even cut the rear drop outs down to make them look more like the old school drop outs and it has fork pegs too.

Totally Awesome!!! Wicked cool shots,

jesse D

here's another to add to the stable. will possibly getting the radberry makeover since I'm not to keen on turqouise. check the pegs kinda cool.

Ernie

Trade it for your preferred color, dont paint that!

if someone had the same frame and condition sure, but I seriously doubt it.

Ernie

Pure Sickness Brutha !! Your in the club, just cause you got pics to prove what most of us have never seen...what a sweet bike !

BTW, is Eddie riding a turqouise Performer, or does it just look turqouise in the pic ? If it is, that would be another rare bird...

I have the same frame and condition. I'd like to trade. In fact, my frames are at Chips (C4), so you would be able to get it repowdered straight away.

thanks for the offer Neil but just something about trading, kinda rubs me the wrong way. hope you understand, also I spoke to chip about the radberry color, I notice the frame he did for you is alittle pinkish to it, I like the 86 color version, here's another that will put together shortly.

I own three Redline projects, an RL20II, RL20A, and a RL20B. All three are red as is at the moment. I hope this may help me join in on the Redline club.

here's the only new bike I ever bought, 84 Prostyler

Chip is colour matching the 86 Radberry from a NOS set of bars - he should have it sorted out very soon.

The pinker Radberry is the early 85 colour - it darkened as they went in 86.

What headset came on the 86 RL20II? Or what do you guys use? Need help in trying to find one for my 22. Thanks.

Neil, I sent Chip those NOS 86 Radberry bars. He is going to powder an 86 RL20II for me to match them.

The 86 RL20II used a Chrome Hatta MX-10. It is the one one with the 'muffin' top.

Ok guys its New years 2009 stop the BS and POST THOSE REDLINES Please I think I have to paint my RL20 II ,and PL20 NOW

I'll try to get some pix of mine in the morning. I have the wheels and tires on it, a Pro Rotor now, but I still have to put the chain on. Maybe I'll just put an old seatpost on it tomorrow so I can put the seat on for the pix too, just to make it look a little more complete. Can't get to it now, but most likely in the morning.

Now thats what I like to here Thanks DON you rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cann't wait to see your sweet ride!!!!

Here it is so far. These are as good of pictures that I can get right now. I may lose the headset lock, I've got some dark blue cables for it, still looking for fork pegs, and I'm looking for a chrome Tuf-Neck seat post. I've got some old silver nippons that I may get anodized blue if I don't find any that are already blue anno.

WOW ! Great 1st post and welcome to the club !!

Were gonna need a little more info and some more pics of the Quad though....maybe start a thread for it ? That bike looks incredible !

Thanks, Guys,
I'll throw some pics of my Quad up later tonight.
Jim

Dam 2 posts and slap the smack down Welcome to the RL Club!!!

I wanted to see if I could actually post the photo of mine this time instead of the link. If it doesn't work can someone smarter than me explain how to post pics?

This is my original Cali Red paint '87.

May I join, please?? I'm building a custom OS Redline. My tight budget won't allow a factory restored museum piece so, this will be a rider. Here's my RL 20 that I recently purchased from RL-20II Guy. He's a cool dude and he's hooking me up with more nice parts - thanks Stephen! I believe this to be an '86 frame with '88 decal set. Currently, it has a later model chrome fork with an extended steerer tube to fit the 5" headtube, polished Forklifter stem, Forklifter race bars in chrome, GT laid back seat post, a Schwinn forged seat clamp (restored and hand polished by myself - it was hammered) and a new Dominator seat. The front brake is temporary soon to be replaced with vintage Dia Compe pieces. I plan to add chrome 48's and late model Flight Cranks next. I've been eyeballin' the tan wall Odyssey tires lately so, I may be rolling on those very soon. I need pedals and I'm not sure what to get. What would you guys recommend?

Looks a heck of a lot like the RL 20II but...What is this bike?

Was it made by Redline? When/where were these made? What is the frame made out of? Threaded or threadless forks?

Any other info?

This bike is a Redline FS880. It's a mid school bike and sort of a tribute to the RL20II. I'm not sure what year though.

Nice frame set, you're now a member! Yeah it's an 86 frame with 88 forks. I'm currently putting together an 86 Cali Red RL20 for a rider with the new school Flights. I'm using a set of KHE Stimulator pedals, the MKS Grafight X copies.

Here is a picture with some of the parts I have. I also have a set of Kenda K55 tires(Panaracer copy).

Thanks man! It looks like you're on your way to a nice rider too with the RL20 in red. Yeah, I saw those Kenda tires and thought about getting those. You can't beat the price to get that OS look. I had no idea about the KHE pedals. Thanks. I'll look into those for sure.

Here's the link to Flatlandfuel. They sell the KHE pedals for $20.

Those new Odyssey Tan Walls are dope, but... at $37.99 EACH... dude, you could just find a nice set of vintage tires for less than that!

Thanks crowe-t. I just placed an order the other day with Flatland Fuel. Looks like I'll have to place another! Now, I'm looking for those Kenda tires on the internet. The Odyssey tires are too expensive for my budget right now. Does anyone know what thread count the peg bosses are in my fork? I'd like to try the cut axle trick with Skyway pegs I've heard about.

I've got a set of original pegs for a 87-88 RL-20II I'd sell for $65.00 LMK

Here's the link to the Kenda K55 Tires. Bikeman.com has them
