1988 Redline RL-20 II
I never thought I would have a RL-20 II
Saw this thing on CL, and almost crapped myself... took a little convincing, but I got it at an awesome price. I am in the process of taking it all apart, cleaning, and regreasing it, and putting it back together... that is the plan for now.
Let me know whatcha think!

Re: 1988 Redline RL-20 II
I'm not a big Redline fan, but the two I like the most are these red ones and the white 84s or 85s. I would definately want them in my collection. Your collection keeps rolling: parades, craigslist...I can't imagine what's next. 
BTW, I have a front RL Edge wheel in my basement. I had a front and a rear. I broke the special rear hub and replaced it with a freewheel mag that came with the bike to keep riding. Someone threw alot of my stuff out when I was in college 
and I never saw the wheel again. They were a little slippery with the coating on them, although there are two versions of the wheel I'm told. My rims were made by Weinman.

Threw some stuff in an Oxy Bath... Are these fork pegs about as worthless as they come? Things are TINY!! 
Before
After
Cleaned up the bars..
Got the forks out of the Oxy Bath, looks pretty good now that it is cleaned up, IMHO! 
Another future sale item...

New Pics... I am liking this bike more and more as I finish it up... since the rear tri isn't chrome, I decided to surround the bike with chrome! Still need to sand and polish up the Redline Chainring also...

Looks good. I noticed the tires. I got the same ones from flatland fuel in the mail today.

Wow.. looks awesome.
Flights and sprocket are a huge upgrade to the look. The black grips, seat and tires really give respect to the OG red.
Did you have the bars chromed?

Thanks Matt and guys... When I got it, I really didn't like it... almost got rid of it. I wanted (and still sort of want) a radberry or hazzard yellow one (I am just really into the unique colors of the 80's), but it is really growing on me now, I really can't wait to ride this. Plus... its a REDline... so Red is pretty fitting, and classic for the bike.
I am thinking about picking up a set of Blk/Grey Wilkerson ODI's for this... always liked the flangeless grips, and wanted to toss a bit of grey to complement the frame. Not sure on that one yet.
I actually stumbled upon the chrome bars off of a Master I picked up on CL... so I have the red ones still that I am probably going to sell... or maybe add to another build... not sure yet.
Thanks guys... polishing that sprocket was a cool project, and I got a lot of satisfaction out of that. Also going to polish up the stem, and pedals, just to keep the theme going. I am liking the survivor frame, w/ all of the blingy chrome stuff surrounding it.
Thanks again!
