Thanks! Clock change screwed me up today after work, it was getting dark when I got home. I guess I'll have to fasten up some headlights on it.

Re: 1985 Redline RL-20II
New addition. Comp Pools. A big thanks to Mazzzze for making these available. I'm planning on bringing this to the Spring Fling and I'm undecided which set of tires to put on it? Opinions welcomed.

My new weakness - Tioga Comp Tires. They came up for sale and I couldn't resist buying them. Oh well. ![]()
