![]() ![]() Even the stickers are in great shape, this was a well built bike, god knows how many miles are on it. My son who is 3 1/2 will some day be riding the 500a. I love the old days of BMX it was nice to see other people have fond memories of their 500a. I also put on a odyssey bear claw brake, all done in 1984. I put on cw bars, odyssey six bolt neck, odyssey lay back seat post, and odyssey flip down pegs. In college I dusted it off and rode it to class. I still have my 1984 redline 500a in great condition. The Store made me a deal that I have to leave the Bike in the Store for display at least 3 months and I agree which was good anyways because it cost me almost $400.00 and i needed time to come up with cash ( Car Washing and raking leaves in Neighbors Yards, Hahahah), boy i was happy, that’s how Redline Bike’s were introduced to my country, every body liked it and they started to order them like crazy, So I had the first Redline in Aruba, that bike was the most awesome bike i had. ![]() But i kept going to the store every other day and i didn’t give up till i have convince them and after 5 to 6 months later they ordered one for me. Since I was 14 years old I went to the Store with my 18 year brother and ask to speak with the Manager to try to convince them to order one for me but since this was a different brand they never heard of it back than they refused. I looked at the picture every day and only talked about the bike the hole time. ![]() Waw this brings me lot’s of memories,I am from ARUBA ( Dutch Island in the Caribbean) I remember I saw and ad in the BMX magazine back than and I fall in love with the Redline 500a in Chrome but the problem was that we only have on bike store on the Island and they only sell Haro, Hutch and GT Bmx bikes. ![]()
