1974 Redline Squareback

1974 Redline Squareback

136th Red-Line made

This bike looked rough when I got it but it cleaned up nicely and still retains its original nickel finish and has not been drilled. This is a very early Nov/Dec 74 built frame and fork (136th built) The bars were custom made back around 75 and I made the pad the way we did back in the day with foam tubing and electrical tape. The stem is a Webco modified Ashtabula. The wheels are .125ths spoke Kin-Lin’s with Aggressor MX tires. I used a Schwinn crank and sprocket with Schwinn bottom bracket and headset. I will update photos once I get the correct Northridge decals for it.

Re: 1974 Redline Squareback

That's Awesome Ken! I'm a huge Redline fan but I never knew of Squarebacks until I got back into bikes. So thanks for keeping the pre-1980 Redline flame burning bright.


It's not the kill, it's the thrill of the chase...

I regret the day I sold my square back in 1985!  That is a very nice piece of history you have there.


Into collecting BMX before old school was old school...
