I got to give a shout out to my mum and dad. I was 7 in 85 and onto my 3rd bmx. We didn’t have much money but they made sure I had the coolest bike if nothing else. I miss the 80’s😢
30 yrs later I can finally afford that Hutch i always wanted...dang.
I remember looking through the catalogs when I was a kid, in love with these bikes. Redline, Mongoose, GT... so awesome
Not the skyways. Oh man takes me back to when I was king of the track
Growing up in the UK, had a Raleigh Mag Burner, same scheme with the wheels and tires ... blue frame .. brings back memories ... Couldn't afford the imports back then ... !!! ... Dreamed of a Redline or Diamondback ... beauty this!
As a modern day street BMX rider I always find it fascinating to look at racing BMX's and especially old ones
New are MUCH different lol
Looks like mine from 1985 . Still have it too ! Great vids ! Thanks !
Just told JR I wanted to build a bike and he let me know you had done a few! Love the builds!
Nice bike I have a 1985 complete Redline hanging in my shed was mine as a kid 👍😊
Ive always been a redline fan. My first bike was a redline 240 I got in 96. Love watching these videos
Love the color choices... I might have to steal some of these for a Hutch pro raider build Im working on. More classic builds please!
Big fan of pork chop they always have everything in stock a quick delivery.
Dude.....this was one of my dream bikes as a kid. The unattainable Redline!!!
2 brothers in my town had Redlines and I'd watch in awe as they'd cruise by while i rode our Raleigh Blue Max.
Please do a Hutch or Kuwahara next!!! Awesome stuff, great memories.
Humm back then , that was what we do every weekend exchange parts from friends and other bikers,
Big on the build. Really nice. Respect.
damn this brings back memories. My first redline was 1978 for my birthday. Keep up the great work.
That's awesome!! Glad the video brought back some rad memories... Thx for watching.
wow I have a 83 I think 102 b series I love this video and the bike is real nice , awesome!
Thanks for watching... Appreciate the great feedback!
Looks absolutely amazing!!!
I was basically the big cheese with a RL-20B back in the day.. After someone begged me to sale it to them in '93 I got a junk Diamondback for jumps.. GT Performer was my favorite "vintage" bike..
I like your Videos Jim Ed they bring back a lot of memories of a simpler time for me. On this one, I especially liked how you built up this great old school bike. But the references to 1985 pop culture were slightly off. By 1985 the Members only jacket was gone and while Vans never really went out of style, the checkered Vans were also not as popular anymore. The Swatch watch was accurate and the Stryper concert shirt was right on. Now a mullet would have been the icing on the cake for sure. Enough of my nit picking. I really like your bike rebuilds and your "that was radical" catch phrase. Keep em coming. Gen Xers rule the universe!
Didn't R.L Osborne end up riding for Huffy after Redline.Huffy & Ross I always remember those bikes sucking very heavy.Great build.I had A P.L 20 RedLine got it for x-mas one of my favorite gifts thanx to my parents.
I was 10 in 85. I woulda wanted that to the max. I got a Huffy Scout 2 Mtn bike 1 or 2 years later :( Still have it.
Awesome build
Sweet bro, I've got an 85 Suzuki SP600 cc old school Enduro. Gettin her ready 4 the season coming upon us.
Great stuff... KEEP IT OLD SCHOOL !!!
Thanks for checking out the video!
so loved old school bmxs
I have a 1984 Hutch trick star. Been hanging for the last 30 years it is complete I will part with it to the right person....
I have got a old school bmx too but its Raleigh Burner-yellow and blue.
Awesome Job
that thing is so awesome.
Love them blue wheels....
Oh snap, those pedals are carnivorous !
freaking sick!
I miss my 84 Redline Proline
Them sweet buttons! Ahhh yeah, the 70s!
nice build..wish i can build my own. so far i got 3 bmx not old school db viper, haro and gt interceptor.
Sick I love this bike
Yo me and my unc are doing up 80's apollos we sand blasted and spray gunned them in a work shop then made custom stickers and seats they look neat af
Cool video and great build. I restored an 83 Redline 600a, a White 84 Skyway TA, a 84 Pink Hutch TrickStar and a Green 85 Haro Master. All of my bikes are in the BMX Museum on the BMX forum. If you want to check them out, search Triple Black 88.
Sweet!! Will do. Thanks for watching.
This bike is so fucking cool man. Super sick!!
I have an old pair of checkered vans !!!!
Saludos desde México una pregunta toda vía venden bicis así en usa ✌️
I like the 88 half crome RL20 s too
Awesomeness
Dig the t shirt. Stryper rules!
Any suggestions on how too determine the year of a redline bike ?? Thank you
Sweeeeeet wheels my friend !
Nice!!
I'm building a Redline for my son and a Haro for me. His bike is squared away, parts wise, but I'm still lacking a 1 piece crank and sprocket. I love that snowflake sprocket, but Porkchop doesn't have any on their website. Love Porkchop! Purchased quite a few items from there and Planet BMX for these bikes I'm building. My Haro is a Mike Dominguez 2014 frame and fork set. I need a 1 piece crank with a 44T sprocket, but I can't find a combo that pleases me. Well.. except for your setup here, just in red or even polished. The theme is all chrome with red accents. Man... I don't know what to do. My son just turned 8 and I'm from the 70's / 80's era of bikes. I was very poor like a lot of kids and couldn't afford these kind of bikes, but I wanted to do this for him and be a part of it with him. Maybe you have an idea on a crank and sprocket combo? Thank you Jim for this video too! All of them. It's given me great ideas for my bikes.
First, let me say thanks so much for watching the videos... Sounds like you have some rad bike projects coming up soon! Wish I could be a better help in your search for the one-piece crank and 44T chainring, but Porkchop and Planet BMX would be my recommends and you've already checked there. I am planning my next build and will keep this in mind... If I run across something I think you'd be interested in I'll follow up. Take care!
Thanks Jim, I really appreciate it!!
Didn't forget about you... Keep checking Porkchop. That's my go-to. I've been in talks with him and there's more parts on the dot com now and lots more coming soon. I've also got a new project in the works I'm super stoked about so keep watch for the next Gym Ed's Bike Shop retro BMX build too. Stay rad.
Jim Ed Hardaway Thank you Jim! I'm finished with both bikes now thanks to Porkchop and Planet BMX! I'd love to send you pics if I may. I even built custom stands for them. I think you'd enjoy them. My son and I ride them often. That huge smile on his face when we ride is priceless!!! Stay Radical my friend!
600c was first good bike i ever saved up for and bought..all chrome version..interesting enough it replaced a ruined stu thompson st550... (that had replaced my first bike a stolen huffy)
Those mag wheels look like Skyway Tuffwheels but don’t appear to be either 1’s or 2’s. I’ve never seen that hub style before.
Anybody remember when Earls Bike Shop had tons of these frames in white for $40 because of a bad paint job? I bought one
I wanted one of these bikes in the worst way when I was a kid.
Nice job, I miss my KUWAHARA KZ-1
thanks
That bike would look nice with some three piece cromilly flight cranks.
Wow that’s a tuff bike
NICE
Que belleza de REDLINE
how do you get the skyways in blue
oh man i want it
I need my Redline pl20 restored. I live in myrtle beach South Carolina. Any suggestions?
Stay rad! Your videos are yo!
Buenas máquinas 👍
Hey man. Any ideas on how to refurb the yellow wheels. I have a set that have faded really bad. Great content btw
There's actually a couple of good videos out there (on RUclips)... just search "Skyway Tuff Wheels Restoration" or something similar. Thanks for watching the GEBS bike builds!! Keep it gnarly!!
That's RAD!!
@Jim Ed Hardaway is this bike up for sale by any chance ?
I miss my bmx Norco spitfire (85-89)
I had the 1981 red line with tuff wheels, red line neck, handle bars and forks. Cost $231
what did you yous to git the handle grips on
There's actually a bike tip at 3 1/2 minutes in my "Rebuilding the 1985 Huffy" that shows you: ruclips.net/video/i8RYCJXw86A/видео.html . Thanks for watching!!
Nice bike. I think it would look better with flight cranks tho.
You build some dream bikes. How bout a PK Ripper?
Would be stoked to do a Ripper... Maybe it'll work out some day soon. Thx for watching!!
I haven't heard the name redline since late 90S I miss the old school bikes
what was the brake line tube the yellow and black checkered one it would greatly appreciated thanks and nice build
It's the Yellow/Black Checkerboard lined brake cable housing (5mm) from PorkChopBMX.com.
thanks
Where could I find a decent fork that fits the old headtube size? I'm trying to build an 85 Huffy Challenger that is only missing a headset and forks.
I hate to state the obvious-and wish I could be a bigger help-but you'll probably just have to stay active searching on eBay and hope for the best. Not a lot of 1985 Huffy stuff out there. Thanks for watching!
Jim Ed Hardaway thanks that's what I was thinking I would probably have to do
I love those Red lines i bought one in mexico amd brought it back here to states.Then it got stolen.
That sucks, dude!! Thanks for checking out the video and the comments.
my dad has a diamond back silver streak 2 that we fixed up its cool but we need a new stem and bar
Check out the parts at www.porkchopbmx.com
*_Why are 1980s style brake gyros impossible to come by???_*
30 years later I still got scars on the back of my legs from the old bear crawls pedals
How does this have only 600 views
We’re can I get 9 tooth skyways and I can’t find any colors like blue or yellow I can only find white and black
What size tires? 20in or 24in?
20s.
I'm born 1972 (germany) ....and this bike is a real old school. Good job. What would this bike cost? (but I think ... there is no way to send to Germany)
I thought tuff 2's had the air hub not nylon?
I saw the Rad soundtrack.
😍
Next do a hutch
Omg I need that how much name ur price
Only the real ones know the pain of your foot slipping while hauling ass and catching that thing behind your ankle talk about fkn pain OOOOOOUUUUUCHHHHHH!
The bike in the thumbnail looks so fucking hangster😍😍😍
omg i want that bike !! where the hell can i hve a couple old school bikes built like that ?? i wld LLUUUV a pk ripper ,skyway, and diamond back ... ripper fah me skyway n diamondback for my 2 youngest sons ... HELP ME !! LOL
Ok I have been looking for a bike from the 80s for the longest time and I just want one so bad I'm deadass broke right now so if ANYONE knows where I can get one that is not 1,000 dollars please respond it means a lot
How in the hell do you have these components?!
should have put a redline 3 peice crank in it
Completely agree... The build was sponsored and so I had to go with what was available. My plan is to upgrade the bars, pedals, and cranks.
BmX the movie was Rad.
Mommy stole my proline from the 80s. State championship prize was aussie fully chrome Molly frame forks and top the range gear was 1200 dollar winners prize bike back then in the early eighties custom hand stiched pads , but still got my rl 420 91 beast just put new rl 3 piece crank and tooth on it , put new post and seat old one was rusted to hell and seat warped to beyond repair , stuck my 78 oakley 2 red grips on it looks like a beast with 2011 sun ringle red envy rims with rl red hubs on raw clear coated frame with new rl v bars to add a bit of style fastest milk runner I have now
I still have scars from those pedals
I like old school style bmx, but I was not born in 1985
I got an old powerlight racing bmx for sale if anyone wants it
