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!)
