How much do I miss my redline..

Who gets rid of stuff and regrets it?

How much do I miss my redline...it was a statement of fashion, speed and it was just Rad.

Redline was born when two guys with a common interest in welding and motorcycles began making frames and
swingarms. With a 6-person staff, they named the company Redline and began producing lightweight, high quality motorcycle frames for flattrack, TT, speedway or motocross.




1974 According to BMX history, the first tubular chromoly Redline fork is created in this year. It’s safe to say that Redline forever changed the bicycle industry, as heavy, bladed forks would soon become a thing of the past.


"We feel right now that (BMX) is on the verge of exploding. This bicycle thing could take off." - Article on REDLINE in the April 1975 MOTORCYCLE INDUSTRY NEWS


1979 First tubular chromoly cranks go into production. They dub it the Flight crank. Redline comes up with a product that changes the entire bicycle industry.



I got one in 1988, sold it in 1993. It was the best bike I owned, I wish I had never got rid of it...



What do you regret selling?
