1991 Redline 720
Rough to Retro!
Just finished turning this very worn out 1991 Redline 720 into a retro rider/racer. I used the frame, fork, bars, stem and brake and replaced everything else. I think it cleaned up pretty nice. I wasn't sure if the chrome was salvagable, but a brass brush and chrome polish and it now looks fantastic! This frame has a nice long top tube, very comfortable bike for grown-up kids.
It's not quite done though! I'm having a Redline Flight-style sprocket drilled out to 7/8" to use with the 1-pc cranks, and I need to get a retro number plate (Forklifter or otherwise, then this will go on a new RL when I get one). I'll update with new and better pics when it's finished.
Special thanks to the following for helping me find some of the parts:
California Lites: thegarman
Aero seat: Murphys Law
Redline plate: Ohioguy31
WTB: 2 black 20"x1.75" National Knarler Knobby tires... used but usable is okay
black foam OGK grips... used but usable is okay

Just a bump for the new pics of the restified '91 
Hope you guys enjoy. Be sure to check out the Before pic and compare! Quite a difference! Almost done, can't wait until I get the new sprocket on there for a nice finishing touch.
This is my new rider.
