RL20-II...makeover?

How about a make over for this old stickered up warrior? I think going back to the original White would look bitchen'...maybe Cali Red...always wanted one of those. Thoughts?

What's the "history" on that bike people keep referring to?

Re: RL20-II...makeover?

If this is not a "Wind Up" lol   PLEASE do not change a thing on that bike...........I'm with Bp, restore a frame that has no soul or history behind it.

My gut tells me though you are just having a little BMX fun! winktongue
