1999 Redline RL-860

Retro `86 RL-20II Prostyler with 1" threaded conversion

I picked this RL-860 frame up off the forum to make this Retro RL20-II Prostyler to replace my Retro Master daily rider. I went a different route with this bike by going true retro by actually using a 1" Threaded fork instead of staying with the original 1 1/8" Fork. I also polished the rear triangle as this bike was not a factory chrome bike. You can check out the thread detailing the progress here: http://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.p … 0#p3553780
