I have a Tri-Moly Redline Serial# 86020172 also with Redline and Tri-Moly stamped under the bottom crank bracket by the serial numbers. Would like to know what model and year (era) this frame is. Bottom frame tube is oval shape.
Any help would be great!
Thanks

bump...

i have one of these and been trying to id too serial #85040881 with the tri moly stamp and redline any one out there can help please do

Weren't they from between 1984 and 1986? I remember seeing quite a few around the time when the Schwinn Predator CrMo was out and other companies started building "beginner" race bikes, like the SE Assassin or Bronco and the GT Mach One...

I could be wrong tho.

in the serial number, the "86" (85, for dvs' frame) is the year of production. typical frame production from taiwan runs about 6 months ahead of real time, so bmx joe's bike could be a later '86 model or early '87 model (dvs' frame later '85/early '86). as far as the model(s), that could be several different ones. are these frames race or freestyle? as always, pics help.

Wow! posted that one sometime ago. Still have frame in storage.

race i thought the serial would bear the year in it i have a redline dealer trying the mfg. hope i get somthing ... i didnt think this got posted my pc quite on me when i did it but it went thru sorry for the repeat with the gt world tour info.
