1980 Redline Proline

I Restored this bike to replicate a neighbours bike from BITD. He is no longer with us and this bike is a tribute to him and his awesome ride.

BITD when I got my first bmx (the Quicksilver I still own) we bought it off a neighbourhood kid who used the money to buy a Redline Proline f/f set. He pretty much saved up and bought everything he needed for the build. He was 7 years older than me and like a big brother and I fell in love with his finished Proline. He raced at my local track and I used to watch every race on that bike. Anyway, when he moved out of home he left the bike at his dads and I could still see it every now and then which was cool. Then sadly some years later he died of a heart attack aged 37 (he was fit and never smoked or drank so it was a total shock) and not long after his dad died of a heart attack too. I never knew what happened to the bike so I decided to build a replica of what he built. The only thing I changed was the Brute stem instead of an MX-2 stem and Flight cranks, everthing else is the same from what I remember ( I had no photos to go off)
