1985 Redline 800P Proline BMX Bike

The 1985 Redline 800P Proline is a benchmark racing bike from the golden era of BMX. The 5-inch head tube, Flight crank system, and tight race geometry made it a favorite among riders who wanted a bike that could take hard racing and still handle precisely.

This particular bike was custom assembled by its original owner using period-correct, high-end components. Every part was chosen for racing performance, and the parts list below documents exactly what is on the frame.
