1986 Redline RL-20II
Helen of Troy
It all started with a stem … I got back into our sport back in 2007, and at the time found an original Cali Red Forklifter stem on eBay. Think I paid $100 for it and figured "one day I'll be able to build a survivor around her ..."
Fun facts:
Survivor finish with original paint and decals on the frame and fork, original paint on handlebars and original paint stem with screened on lettering.
'RE' serial with the straight rear standing platforms you'd see on the 84/85 model.
There isn't a single re-pop part on her, even the brake cables are dated 1986.
Some of the pictures below are from the way I built her back in 2015.
