Redline Vintage BMX

06/05/2026

15 years ago while I was pilfering my way through a stack of 2d geometry drawings in the Haro bikes safe looking for the original Haro freestyler drawing (which I found) I was curious as to why I also found the original Redline Forklifter race handlebar drawing in amongst the Haro stash. My overactive mind developed a theory that revolved around Ron Wilkerson, since he equipped his 85 Haro Sport with the Forklifter race bar, and my hunch Haro was planing to spec the production 85 Sport with the Forklifter bars. I asked Ron. He couldn’t remember. So it remains a theory 😁
Long story short, we recently made a sample set. They are beautiful and we’re tooling up to run a batch later this summer.

What we know now and couldn’t care less about as kids. The RL 20 II is a complex piece of 80s era BMX technology. The Redline Vintage brand philosophy remains the same as it was back in the 1980s - deliver best in class products, in brand-inspired proprietary packaging and make absolutely no short cuts to the end result. Make it meaningful and exclusive. The often challenging reverse engineering, and reengineering, process to manufacture this model in modern times was worth it. The carefully considered component spec of the RVBMX RL 20 II complete - whether it’s the era-correct Tange MX320 sealed bearing headset, the MKS Graphite XX pedals, the Panaracer Freestyle HP tire, or the Flyte Tech seat - we combine the best and most authentic brands and products available. Rolling on our beautiful chrome 48s and Single pinch 401 Flight crank and sealed Techmatic BB, nothing is considered a “generic” or less crucial inclusion on this reissue. If it’s worth doing. …. You get it. It’s more than a bike. It’s a tangible piece of our generational DNA. See you Monday.
