1974 Redline Squareback 24
1974 Redline Squareback 24
24" with Elsinore motorcycle headset
The bike was given to me in 79ish to race in the 24" class from a bike shop in Huntington Beach ca Ralph was the owner and had always taken are of my bmx needs I raced it for a short bit till gt gave me there 1st 24" bike in 1980
Confirmed by Linn Kastan himself, and now with new forks.. for sale 50k open to any real cash offers
What a great day Just got back from linn’s he made me a set of forks for the 24” squareback he was stoked to see it and blown away by it had me bring it in He told me it’s the only one he ever made good news and set the story straight. He said there just like he made the 1st pair and had fun doing it

Such an important part of not only Redline but BMX history in the early years.
Will never forget the sleepless night when you posted this Mike.
Just awesome!!!

Re: 1974 Redline Squareback 24
That's amazing! Thanks for sharing the pics and story.
Did it stay original through the years or were parts changed along the way?
Does it have a serial number?

dude.
Some of you never had to write a paper backed by credible sources and peer-reviewed research...and it absolutely shows. We are currently in a full-on war with objective reality and rational thought. Bizarre.

This is just cool and must be super rare!
You can't put a price on peace of mind.
This too shall pass.
Use common sense. Or cents for most.
