My 70s touring bike had that same dia-comp caliper... truly nostalgic & beautiful
💯
After you munched those calipers and that seat I’d still take my bike to your shop because you be the Phu-Dawg.
Hellya!
Redline at first wasn't really a BMX brand. They just made really dope frames for Honda dirt bikes in the 70's and then expanded into BMX.
Never seen that trick with seat guts. Hella clean.
Me either wish I knew that when I rode BMX, looks way better not seeing the guts 👍💯
The fluted seat post started showing up everywhere in about 1979. It was a very affordable upgrade that you could use in the secondary color that you were likely basing the look on. Gold, blue and red were the most widely available.
No
The fact it was a cheap upgrade and new design made them popular.
I don't like them because they let water into the frame.
Love this build. Reminds me of my 83 Goose. I would have went with the ODI mushroom grips on this one.
Best build so far cook bros are a classic during my teen years of 1977 thx for the show
@Phu How you doing, just for future reference Redline’s history is that they started of as a Motorcycle Company. And Redline B.M.X. bikes were the first to do square rear chain stays, I think they took the idea from their Motorcycle’s.
The cool thing is, that most of the early B.M.X companies all brought something original to the industry in regards of a design that was worth while doing.
Now then sir, that's what I'm talking about...pure chrome, and 40 spoke wheels....proper decent one....hey, the bars, bit of old school 🏫....strips of sandpaper, around the headstock....that's how you do it back in the day...(old speedway trick)....I was fortunate enough to have these bikes, still have a few now.....massive respect 🙏. Keep doin what you do...
Been racing 20 years... I've always rode a Proline.
I don't even want to know how much that bikes worth but holy graily cow that's a gem! That's the kind of bike that a celebrity should own and probably too expensive to be ridden. Nice work Phu
As far as cool names I would say -DIAMOND BACK, and actually my second decent BMX, was a Diamond Back Viper 😊 another company I'd say would be - LASER, for newer names I like CULT 😎
💯
I agree with you. Am'e grips and Old School Dia Comp break lever. This is one of my holy grails. I built up a Torker back in the day and almost bought Cook Bros forks for it but the bike shop owner convinced me to get Torker forks. I still got it and ride it. My other holy grail would be a GJS, Patterson and JMC
Ive always used hairspray for my grips, old school dirtbiker taught me that 🙏
I had a 1978 team murray, that bike took me wherever I needed to go and had a blast. The cool bikes were the Mongoose, Diamondback and Redlines. A few months ago I came across a 1981 Mongoose Supergoose frame. Thats going to be a cool build. Keep them videos coming. Thanks
💯🙏🏼
Love the vintage builds! Miss my Robinson from the 90's!
Redline was my first good bike. I’ve always been partial to the name.
simplicity is the best way to build a bmx and the bike looks great and thanks to you Alfredo another good video and a lesson from the book of Pho 😊😅👍🏾
Thank you kind sir!
Master mechanic. Super star. Love tour programs.
we need a you out here in bc to help give the knowledge to people the right way .....keep it up I watch your channel all the time, and how can i find out what year my redline is,i am told its 1978 but it's hard to get parts for to keep original
Goosebumps ! Yup
😮💨
Alf is right tho redline is the name that made me fall in love w bmx bikes
💯👊🏻
Your always right!
This is cool. I had a haro freestyler from 86 I think and my friend refurbished it and it’s looking brand new however I still ride it around, I love it. Really liking the bike builds guys 🤟
This was my bike as a Kid. Exactly the same colors...Great memories 👊🔥🔥🔥🔥🤚🤙
I sported a D&G frameset with Tuff wheels back in the day, bulletproof combo. pro-tip, use brake cleaner on grip installs, really makes em grip once it evaporated... Chonclas, look out for mama, their deadly when armed with the flop LOL... Sweet build
Favorite brand names, Elf, Alliance, Terrible 1
i have allways bolted everything the way Phu is doing it the man is spot on with building
💯💯
I like the bike especially the seat post really takes me back, great job.
Glad you learned about grips and WD 40....finally! Also, that bike is Sweet!
👊🏻
You guys inspired me to rebuild my late 80's GT
U guys rock love your video. U guys are fun informative and joy to watch
This is the same color as my Schwinn Predator from 1982. 🧨
😍
LOVE THE CONTENT. KEEP IT UP
Nice Phu!! Definitely a bike guy I'd like to meet!! You guys remind me of my living in the 808 days!!
🥶 I would have went with some darker blue grips. Dope build! 🥶
Great Bike build. Awesome channel!
Hermosa bike, ojalá pronto le puedan poner una silla acorde a su época, excelente trabajo, saludos desde Colombia!!
"Spend a little time and do it right" is probably the best advice you could ever give. Always love to hear someone say that because not enough people do. My favorite BMX name besides Profile and Phu would probably have to be Stolen. Can you imagine the amount of confusion that brands' name has probably caused over the years? 😂
Bike looked clean AF….
I’d prefer shimano dx pedals
And I would have had red and chrome as my choice but the blue looks good too
💯
I love the DiamondBack name!
Your right! Some mx brakes! And tufneck center sprocket!
Sick build
👊🏻
That seat trick is sick
Bro my goosebumps are going crazy rn
Excellent video great build..i personally prefer the seat clamp the other way ...love the content..the bike is a collectors gem
Beautiful build 🤙🏽
💯💯
Yeah in 1981 that was my first upgrade . I think mine was gold
I was thinking it the whole time. I wouldn't ride that one. . . Ever! So many OG parts!!!
Love the vids bro. Hope to see you shred on your channel as well , take care man
Very clean, well done!
👊🏻👊🏻
The bike gods are smiling. I almost pee'd a little. I rode a cook bros frame in the early 90's. The back end was lighter than the front end fully built. So light for a steel frame.
🙏🏼🙏🏼
You went to Chip Foose's place and didn't take us!!! That is LoW!!!! Cool bike name was FMF, make up what fits, Cooks bros was high end race stuff back then.
That man$ vision is great! The build came out sexy, I would ride that around like a proud dad on top of a Cadillac.
My original bmx was a CYC. My friend had a Mathews Monoshock. 1975-76.....
Another one, all nice and shiny
🙏🏼👊🏻
Looks 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Magnificent 🤙
DANG, now that's an extremely expensive bike. Wow!
Cooks bros were and are great bikes.
Phu... Love that bike, great job. Cook Bros = Icon. Watched your grip method video as well. Try isopropyl alcohol.
I'm working on a diamondback nitrus (which sounds cool because it also sounds car related), one of the 2002-2003 all aluminum silver one. The grips, brake, chain, cog, and rear hub gotta go but the rest is in pretty good shape.
A GOOD WATCH
🙏🏻🙏🏻
Best video yet foo
👊🏻👊🏻
Favorite BMX names for me are Torker and S&M. Puch as a runner up..
Good bit of trivia that cook bros contributed to development of a threadless fork/ stem. What was the first bmx bikes to use them?
Best BMX name ever has got to be Zeronine!
I go from the right side on the seat clap bolt as well cause one that don't have a nut and thread right in are that way!
Good point!
What a nice bike.
Beautiful build phu I would also cruise that bike
👊🏻👊🏻
Hahaha that is dope as hell 77 damn nice
Switch seat out to diamond pattern, double goose neck the stem with a blue top and put mushroom grips or blue dorcys on it. Cobra grips
Also had my soma bmx in 79 had a lot of haters with my cooks bro racing
💯
Yeaaaa boi!
I had one very similar and wish I hung onto it! Those look like Red Line bars and not the Cook Bros. that I had. Also, you’re missing the chain tensioners. Cook Bros. were one of the first to put them on a BMX. Neither brake per or lever are correct IMO. DiaCompe MX 900 or 1000.
Nice stuf...I would adjust the brake housing forward near the brakes..
Torker and Hutch best bmx names
Without a doubt! Haha
Yes !!!
Best bmx brand name either tall order or haro
My favorite Bmx company names are Mutiny
And Terrible One
Favorite BMX name..... Torker
Sick.wow v bars
Everything u keep pulling out it's wow wow wow nice bike love love the redline flights
I had that seat posts on a p.l 20 redline I think it was just to lighten the bike as I know u know but it was all about having a light bike in those days I use to race.
I always dug those Elf bikes Or Robinson.
I do same as u with seatpost clamp they really upped they're game b.m.xparts
If the owner is gonna ride this I think ur right should go for bigger bars.
I watched video again u ever come across a sling shot Frame? The lines of the bike was soooo sick.
The seat guts were on point that way one of my pet peeves is how Seat position I can’t stand it when the post isn’t in the middle or slightly forward of middle when the have the post all the way at the back it just look ridiculous
15:48 he needs a Dia-Compe Tech 3 MX brake Lever for that brake 👍🚲💨
Awesome
Sweet ...
Man I wish I would have kept mine I had that BMX bike
The bike is done very well. I'd prolly use different grips and sand the post.
Why sand the post? Haha
I had that bike in 79
🔥
Nice bike. I would have put a MX1000 rear brake and lever and Blue AME tri grips. Btw im 80k into my 87 gt pro freestyle tour,shes 80% done and i ride that thing everywhere. Alot cheaper to buy a pft at 6kish complete than to spend 10k building it. Gt 80's stamped parts prices are through the roof.
If you put Redline flights on it, you might as well put CW pro bars on it. That's what I would have done.
It's what I did in '86.
And some pro class rims laced with stainless spokes to Cook bros sealed hubs. Blue bands to show color through the holes.
Blue anodized Dia Compe MX-1000 brakes, or Odysseys.🙄
Skyway is the name that sounds coolest😂
Tsinelas the best!
Subrosa!! Because the meaning and the origin
Love it
I've got an original Kawahara e.t signature model bmx. Red and white.
Red line frames were super light.
I would never do that to that bike. In fact, I am reporting this shop owner to the OSBmx Police.
i miss phu
Favorite bmx name is S&M because it basically means you welcome the pain and get off on it 😂
Brov its hairspray on the grips....lube + set....old school.....
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
