Strengths: Looks nice, I repainted it olive drab green from the original money green since alot of the paint was gone.
Weaknesses: Bearing cups were in too tight, I want to put in a new head-set but I'm having issues.
Bottom Line:
Bottom line, I'm broke...I'm trying to work on the Rare Devil more since it's a present for my girlfriend and the only reason I'm building this Redline is cuz mt Mach-1 got stolen last week and i need a new ride.

Strengths: Stong Frame, all around good bike for a person of little skill or those that go balls out.
Weaknesses: Heavy setup when stock, came with a 1pc crank, pedals blew bearings out after a week. Minor mods can reduce that though.
Bottom Line:
K bottom line is i bought this bike in high school when road till we could see the front tire of the bike. I left the bike the way it was pretty much besides the 3pc crank. Reason i didnt do much to the bike was money reasons and time. But the bike was perfict for my riding style at the time, i was a light weight kid that loved doing big air tricks, the bike had the weight to move its self through the air once i got it started. Over all the bike will take a beating and keep you riding as long as you keep it well maintained.

Strengths: Strong frame, good grips, gyro system
Weaknesses: Too big of handlebars, rims are weak, 1pc crank is weak, pedals, sprocket.
Bottom Line:
Good strong beginner bike for those riders not asking for much. Not a good bike for the intermediate and expert class riders. Cranks are likely to fail and bend. Going to have to invest in parts within a few months.
Strengths: for the price i paid this bike is the best bike ive ever owned. the frame is perfect, and practically indestructible. you cant ask much from a bmx bike. nice overall frame design.
Weaknesses: stock accessories, crank.
Bottom Line:
cant beat the price. ride it till it breaks. spend a little bit in aftermarket accessories. very reliable. you're basically buying the frame so dont buy a churched up version of the same thing.
Bike Setup: redline frame with tioga headset, redline monster fork and redline stem. alex double wall 48 spoke wheels with haro hubs and 14mm axles. maxxis ringworm tires. dia comp rear brake. industry 3 pc crank with kink 33t chainwheel. acs fat claws 16t freewheel.

Weaknesses: rims, crank, pedals, and grips

This bike is the best I've ever ridden it takes a while to get used to the 19 in frame but it works. great for barspins. Lasts a long time. And overall the best bike I have ever had.

Strengths: frame, hubs
Weaknesses: crank, rims, chain, brakes
Bottom Line:
not a bad bike for the price. the crank is weak as are the rims. i would recommend a profile 3 peice as the stock one bends fairly easily. the stock rims also bend easily. the frame is also just a tad bit long, but thats more personal preference. all in all, a good bike to start off of.

Strengths: frame,stem,brakes are decent,fork
Weaknesses: bars,grips,bearings,rims,tires(cheng-shin),hubs,unsld pedals,chain wheel is cheap, brake lines will break
Bottom Line:
do not jump this bike it cant take it. the 1 pound handle bars will bend. after a while your paper thin bearings will bust in your axles and in your head tube. i would get this if you like to just have the name redline.i would buy this just for the frame
