1984 Redline 500a
In-progress catalog build of my very first "real" BMX bike.
Not quite done, but building this to catalog specs using all either NOS or near-perfect parts. F/F/bars are too nice to rechrome or resticker, will stay as-is (thanks Teched88!) This is an early '84 serial number, so I'm going with an NOS set of KKT pedals that were on the '83 Redline 600a unless I can find some correct VP-468's that are super nice/NOS.
--
I will ride this bike with a couple parts swap-outs like the pedals.
--
The Owner's Manual is the actual Owner's Manual from my original '84 500a I bought new in November 1984.

Stem pic is of the correct WIN stem.

Also pictured is the older cousin to this bike, my '83 Redline 600a.

Still need for this to be correct (please let me know if you have any of these):
(UPDATE 9-10-09: I have all the parts now to make the bike 100% bone stock correct, just need to install and take new pics!)
- NOS or better than these Fuan F1 style grips. MUST be Fuan brand white/black with NBL stamped into the ends. These are okay, but would like better/NOS.
- These are new Cheng Shin tires, will be swapped out with the correct NOS Cheng Shins when I'm done riding this :)

Larger pics will be posted in thread below.
Thanks! This is a childhood dream come true (again!)
