Ive had a good look on BMXmuseum.com and I don't think this is a redline the rear dropouts don't seem to fit with any bike RL have made and this frame doesnt have the gusset between the top tube and head tube that most of them have..
I will stand to be corrected but I'm guessing its something else I'm sure the uber nerds on rad will come up with the answer..

An old school redline would have a gusset below the down tube rather than between the top and down tubes.

It looks rather like the bikes I rode back in the day...a few good parts and a few not-so-good. It's certainly been upgraded/swapped about, but the drop outs suggest the frame isn't a particularly high quality, which is backed up by the fact that someone felt the need to remove the gusset. At a guess I suspect it might be something low-range (but not really naff!) like a Pro Star (not a Hutch Pro Star - that'd be good!). Worth restoring though!

Whatever it is its Old Skool to the bone is it proper kid size or ridable? doesn't matter if its that spesh, tis a blast from the past be nice to see it restored and worth it |
| |
 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

Its ridable for an adult, but not at my weight!
I'm just going to restore it for the fun of it.
I'm not fussed if its a good make or what, i just wanted to restore to what it is, even if it is a cheapie!

The baseball imprint is the mark of Koizumi Manufacturing in Japan.
Their most notable client was probably Diamondback, but they were used by many other brands including Hutch, Kuwahara, and Cycle Pro.

Finally an answer and if it turns out to be right.. it looks like some one has butchered up a very rare Mk1 pro burner check the similarity- yours- mine-  shame really cos with the gusset its worth about £200- 400 just for a frame complete bikes make £700 all day long (on the upside I have heard of the gussets being remade and welded back in) not gospel but that looks like what it is... and to think the answer was in my garage the whole time! |

This is what a classic redline looks like!  I have owned it since i was 11 (now 36) it now sits patiently on the wall for the day i get round to restoring it. |
