According to an interview that I did with Linn Kastan in 2001, he kept a ledge of all the Redline frames he built until about early 1978. In March of 1978, he was at Frame # 010500. Being that your frame is #25267, it might be a safe guess that it is a 1979 frame. Also most of the literature supports plated frames in 1979.

Redline Monoshock - two different frames?
BillCurtin replied to volcano's topic in Riding, Research & Collecting
I interviewed Linn Kastan at length about the evolution of Redline about 10 years ago. He maintained a journal with all the serial numbers from the first frame to the 10,800th frame made in March 1978, the last entry according to him.. In his words, they made 35 monoshock frames/bikes. They were mainly a promotional tool. There were 635 1st gen Squarebacks made, a small amount of 16" frames made and then the numbers carried through to the 2nd gen squareback, the MX-II and the early Pro-Lines. Some of the monoshocks had the serial number stamped on the head tube like their moto-cross frames. -

Race Inc Reproduction decals?
BillCurtin replied to mrraceinc's topic in Riding, Research & Collecting
Tell that to the guy restore his old Chevy and using repro badges. Reproduction is not a dirty word. What is dirty is when people shamelessly try to pass stuff off as original and it is not. -

Offer a suggestion for how to mark them indelibly... -
Race Inc Reproduction decals?
BillCurtin replied to mrraceinc's topic in Riding, Research & Collecting
We can mark them with a big watermark across the graphic stating "REPRO". I leave all copyright dates off my Mongoose decals for that reason and get complaints that they are not accurate. Can't win no matter what we do. -

This is going to be cool. I had a set of the R/W/B set years ago. They came on a single sheet with everything die-cut by shape. THought the head tube/handle bar decals were pretty neat decals considering everything else at the time was a rectangular/square shape -

Thanks for reposting the interview Sean. Doing that interview was a blast. Mike is by far one of the most interesting guys I've had the privilege of taking to about the old days. He is a wealth of knowledge and anecdotes. Please let him him know if you see him that I said hello. Bill
