Flipping through the latest edition of BMX Plus! recently, I was pleasantly surprised to find a two-page ad for the Redline Proline 24.
So many companies give short shrift to 24s in their ads, it’s nice to see Redline step up and recognize that cruiser riders want to see “their” bikes in the BMX mags too. For Redline to do so in a two-page spread makes me respect them even more.
What’s more, I love that they chose the Proline 24 over the Flight 24 for the ad. While the Flight 24 is certainly a sought after bike for the hardcore race crowd (with factory Answer Scythe forks, etc.) the Proline 24 is a simple, well-spec’d bike that works: Chromo forks, Redline Flight cranks…everything you need to win races or ride trails…nothing too fancy, but nothing that needs replacing either.
Even though I’m kind of surprised it wasn’t offered in red, or that cool bronze-y gold of last year, I find that this blue version is growing on me. Great job, Redline.
Respect.
cruiser revolution 
I got a big smile on my face when I saw that big ad for a cruiser. Even chased my wife down and showed her (liked she cared). Could we be witnessing a … revolution? sorry. couldn’t help it.
Me too.
Of course, it’s the same situation at my place:
Me: “Hey honey, check this out…”
Her: (eye roll)
[…] Your advertisers seemed to have noticed this too. One of them rewarded you with not one, but two 2-page ads for their cruisers. […]
[…] up is the Proline 24. I think of this one as the workhouse of the lineup. A straight-forward race machine that gets the job done. Light & strong but without the hefty price tag of flashier race […]
