This was the bike that got me back into 80's BMX.
« on: December 08, 2010, 12:39 AM »
Hi guy's,

Here's a pic of the bike i won on Ebay nearly a year ago

I caught the 'build' bug & have since bullt up Haro Sport85(NOS), tried selling the reflex f/fork's back in May(but  no takers).
Looking back i'm glad it did'nt sell :), i think the Aero Reflex is a very underrated bike >:(
The quality of the chrome/weld's is outstanding, & visually look's top drawer....the only draw back are the rather agricultural rear frame stander's!!

I stripped it down & went for a chrome/lavender combo, got some original 80's Tuff 2's(rear ally hub/front sealed) custom dyed them purple(probably looks blue in the pic's), Anlum Sport h/bar's,izumi chain,original Ame grips,Viscount Dominator seat. NOS lavender Tioga beartrap 2 h/set. A big thankyou to someone @MK10 for selling me the GT tyre's :daumenhoch:

A real big thank's to Del for sorting out the custom decal's :4_17_5:.

Thank's for looking ;)

I reckon thats the nicest reflex i've seen, not much of a fan of lavender, but you've got the balance right there, good work.

I've only been back in the game for a year & i've built 3bike's(nearly), this addictions almost cleaned me out >:D

Now I am not the biggest lover of freestyle bikes, only a few have ever made me stop and look but that is definately one of the ones I like.


Really nice job, very impressed.   :4_17_5:

Yep very nice build. hmoon27 has an og front lavender Tuff, not sure if he's looking for a rear to finish the set to keep or if he'd be interested in selling it but may be worth pming him. ;)

I still think the Aero Reflex is an underated f&f and as Tefore's pics show, they can build up into a really nice freestyler.  I'm tempted to get one myself but think once my current projects are completed that will be it for me for a long while at least!
