This is dope, check out my old redline conquest. I thinks its a few years newer than yours.

That's a very hip redline you have there! Glad to see that your getting some use out of it! Any idea how old it is? My guess would be circa 1990.

I think mine is from 1990 yeah, and I have reason to believe shogun built the redline MTBs or at least some of them.

An Escape Vehicle was given to the nonprofit I manage for resale. It is indeed a very hip bike. It looks almost exactly like this one and has been meticulously maintained. What is it worth?
