Redline repop.
Should've been updated instead of the threaded headset and caliper brakes..

Didn't Redline recently get brought out ? It's a predictable move tbh, would have been nice to see the tech updated, as it stands, it's just another ornament inspired by greed, taking advantage of the nostalgia of that generation.

If it was greed ... why only 300?

I'm the project manager for Redline Foundations. Some of you have been supporters of other BMX history projects I have delivered for brands and also the Birth of the BMX Freestyle history books I have written and published within the last five years.

This is ultimately a project to honor and celebrate Linn Kastan and his crucial role in BMX, and Redline history. The project has a lot of moving parts including a historical "origins" video (with plenty of ex-Redline racers, employees, etc contributing) a website, etc. When we met with Linn 6 months ago to discuss this project, the subject of the RL 20 II came up and since Linn has the ability to produce bikes to very high standards at Kastan, he offered to make a short run of RL 20 II Replica packages. Using the original drawings he created in 1984, these will be incredible tributes for those who collect vintage-inspired-replica BMX bikes, and the project will be a fitting tribute to Linn Kastan and his unique and innovative role in BMX history. Without him, who knows what it would look like.

The balance of creating something that requires a lot of tooling while keeping it accessible/affordable has been a six-month process. This isn't a price gouge or a bank raid, merely an authentic project, delivered by the brand founder - in collaboration with the modern brand - to celebrate Redline and Linn Kastan's history.

Thanks to those who support the effort.
