Redline BMX 50th Anniversary | 1974 - 2024 by Redline Bicycles
Born in Chatsworth, California, Redline BMX got its start when Linn Kastan created the first tubular Chromoly Redline fork in 1974, with the first production of Squareback frames soon after. Fifty years later the Redline brand continues to be a staple of the BMX world, with a rich legacy of accomplishments from the world’s best riders.
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
