more to come.......

Sweet. Gotta go redline flights. Good choice. Or profile.

the flight 401's i have i've had since about 1990, they've been perfect up until one of the bearing races split, still strait as ever and handle my abuse :D

I can't believe you guys still know all this stuff. I had a Redline back in the day.

it's just like riding a bike........:D

back in the late 80's/early 90's bike parts would break regularly, i used to snap cranks/handlebars all the time from the aggressive street riding i used to do....
there were some parts which would simply not break.

i had so many bikes......let's see what i can remember....in order of my getting them, i know i'm forgetting a few, but i bought every one after the performer as a frame/fork and transfered my parts
i paid for every single penny of bike stuff myself from working my part time job back in the day,

1. kuwahara magician.........got stolen
2. gt performer....
3. gt pro freestyle tour in chrome (still have and what i rode the most)
4. skyway something or other...
5. kuwahara bravo
6. redline RL22
7. haro master
8. specialized fatboy (the one i'm currently building)

not sure why i remember the details, haven't thought about alot of this stuff in years and years, i can still remember every "spot" we used to spend hours at riding in detail.....

I acually still have a 1976 Redline Square back with Cook Bros. hubs:D
And for my Mongoose Moosegoose, I have a set of pinchless 401s, yep, the very first style of flites:D

pinchless 401's are true old school, mine are the pinch type.......
i'm going to spot weld the broken outer race for the bottom bracket bearing to see if i can save it, it was a clean split and if i clamp it it spins perfectly......we'll see if i get lucky as i've been having a ***** of a time finding a replacement bearing for them......

I had a metallic purple road frame up until recently... it was looked great!

done more or less, i'm getting a new set of chrome 48 spoke wheels in the coming weeks (trading labor for them :)), and i have a few areas to touch up but no big deal, this ain't no beauty pagent :)
