There is a much longer post from another section of the site with much more detail - HERE - but I wanted to post some pics of my brother's 1985 RL20-II that I recently restored for his 40th birthday.

Enjoy!

I don't have as much knowlege on items from 1985 on, was '85 the only year they offered the all chrome frame with the first generation RL20-IIs?

- Bob

Some will tell you that they had an all chrome in 1985, but I never seen it. So, not really sure either way.

As far as I know, there was only an all chrome one in 1988.......pink lettering decals, with a slight black fade behind the lettering.

That Hutch stem looks nice on there...

Thanks Stephen. All the core parts on this bike are my brother's from back in the day.

He did buy it all chrome and if my memory serves me right, he bought it the first year it was available. I did replace the decals, but with ones just like the old scratched up ones.

So who knows, I just like it because being all chrome it is a little different than most of the ones you see.

Sick RL! I'm like'n the parts selection your bro picked out BITD I too am a sucker for a chromed out ride--classic

Bob,

I also had an all chrome '85 as well a couple of years ago. Good to know there's another existing.

Awesome build Bob I always like those chrome RL20-II's , your brother gonna luv that.

OHH by the way my B-day is coming up HA HA HA

Mark

Very clean build. Gotta love chrome.

Bob,

If you check the coaster brake tabs (small piece running from the drops to the rear chainstays), an '85 should be straight. Your's are bent. Looks like it may be an '86 RL20 II. Either way, it looks great.

All chrome looks great. Very nice

chrome and black good combo...

thats a great build thats really the best place for that stem too Hutch stems look best on Redlines...
