Redline seems to have closed or at least stopped working on bikes. Anyone know what happened?

You can tell your friend he can call Redline Cycle in Kenosha Wisc. they work on our old bikes, the owner used to be partners with Jim, but they never got along, & went their separate ways yrs. ago

I've always done side work on older bikes. To be honest there isn't much of anything on these old things that is hard to work on.

There's usually a few small bike shops around that are pretty inexpensive depending on what needs done

I think he is still ordering parts, I bought a voltage reg/rectifier combo specific to my bike from him back in June and it was on order but showed up that week.
I'm very happy with it too
