Your authoritative resource for BMX, Old school to New

1981 the Saint Paul Civic Center hosted the Rondo Classic indoor race here in lovely Minnesota.  The shot of Stu speed jumping is etched in my head for a lifetime after Bob Osborn shot the same angle I was at.  It was awesome to see Stu race here indoors and to honor that thought I would slap together that ride of his.

   

In 1981 the ProLine was modified with tapered fork legs and new dropouts.  Late in 1981 they introduced the single pinch flight cranks to snug up on the spindle without loosening.

   

Stu really enjoyed seeing this bike at the 2009 Rockford Vintage gathering where he was the guest speaker and inducted into the VBMX Hall of Fame.


Hope you all enjoy another historical Redline ride.
