1988 Redline RL RII-20
Freestyle

During the late '80's, freestyle sort of took over from racing as the popular style of BMX riding. Many companies produced some very crazy looking freestyle frames, forks and components. The RL RII-20 is very unique in that the twin top tubes wrap around and meet in front of the top tube. This bike is a restoration, which is a 1988 (with 990 rear brakes). It's been redecaled with a 1986 decal set. Complete with gumwall freestyle tires and 48 spoke wheels, this bike shows the movement away from racing and into freestyle machines; thanks in part to touring freestyle trick demo teams at the time.
