1986 Redline Prostyler
1986 Redline Prostyler
This was built as a tribute for my Dad who passed away when I was 14. RIP.
As stated above, my dad passed when I was 14. I am only 19 now. When I was around 10 years old, I remember him having 2 matching yellow Redlines. After talking to his friends I found out they were RL20 Prostylers. So thats where my journey began.
After I acquired the frameset from L., I quickly began to build as I had some of the parts already while searching for the bike. BUILD THREAD
Well she is finally done and already has won a best of show award. Hope you guys enjoy the bike as much as I do. It gets ridden daily and ill never let her go. Rest in Radness Dad!

Re: 1986 Redline Prostyler
Sweet build! I'm sure your dad would be proud of what you built for him.
We're all gonna be three little Fonzies here and what's Fonzie like?
Come on Yolanda! What's Fonzie like?
Cool?
Correct-a-mundo! And that's what we're gonna be, cool.

Much respect, bro. Great bike.
There's something happening here, and what it is ain't exactly...obvious.

Awesome bike.... really sorry to hear of your dad's passing. If you don't mind me asking, how did he pass away?
Take care.

He had his demons, and one day they got ahold of him. He passed away from suicide.
