Well, hello, Im new to the forums and just wanted to post a pic of my 1976 Redline Squareback that I built when I was 13 lol. Im now 16 and just wanted to see what people thought about it now. It was originally my dads bike which he bought from a friend for $100.

Heres what I did and what parts it has: (some I cant be specific on as I can't remeber the exact models of some parts...sorry)

-1976 Redline Squarback Frame and Forks (VERY Light frame)
-Didnt like dull nickel plating so I got it Chrome Plated
-Replaced original H-bars with Redline Race bars
-Replaced original wheels with Araya all chrome wheels (not sure exact model now...but not 7x's..)
-Odyssey Gyro II
-Redline Freaky-G grips (damn neighbors dog got to them yesterday...when I left it outside for a sec to take a break from washing it..chewed the edge of one off :evil: ))
-New stem..from Dans Comp, but not sure which one now lol :(
-Redline Proline Mx pedals
-New brake lines lol
-kept original Dia Compe MX brakes :D (VERY easy to adjust)Good Brakes
-Original One-piece Cranks
-Replaced Main Sprocket with new black "Universal Chainring"
-Chromed original seatpost
-Redline w/Kevlar seat (dog got a piece of it too...makes bike look like shit)
-Black Peregrine Monster collar
-Redline Number Plate
-Chrome and Black Redline Sticker set...Stickers on the "Squareback are REALLY Cut up from racing...)
-Redline Flight Race Tires
-Dia Comp MX 99 Race Lever

Thats about it...not the Highest end stuff but decent stuff and I liked it...plus a 13 yr old saving money to buy it all...anyway just wanted too know what yall think about it...It has been heavily raced on our back yard Race track which we built with my dads tractor :D

The main reason I posted was to see how well yall like it and also, Im probably getting out of Racing and BMX all together and was wondering what you guys think I could get from selling it.

Thanks and here are some pics: (not the best pics)

You can see were the dog got a hold of the seat and Grip :evil:

Um...its in great shape...Its value comes from the frame an forks which are in great shape. Mainly the 1976 old school "squareback" design...its one of a kind and they are pretty rare. Also, the serial # is 4879...most bikes serial is like 423413255431 lol...but anyway a torn seat shouldn't take away from its value at all...Its not like the frame is dented or something...

But thanks for the input... :D
