AERO REFLEX (need info)

[cossiemark]

Hi peeps right i have just bought an AERO REFLEX and i would like to restore it to original as i can. Can some one tell me what parts were fitted originally as the guy built it up from parts from ebay. I am going lime green theme i think unless i can get pics and info on how the bike was when it was new sitting in the bike shop lol

Any help would be most appreciated thanks mark

Dont think they were ever sold as a complet,  Frame and forks only as I remember

Yep, think they were sold as framesets much in the same way as the Firebirds, so license to do what you want.  Saw quite a lot with Aero mags on I think...

Dont think they did completes,a few bike shops may have built them up bitd.Hard to find aero zytec mags these days!I think there is a reflex in the museum with all green bits!looks the nuts!there was a green set of tuffs for sale a few days ago in for sale section,good luck with the build will be good to follow!check out the museum,there are some tasty examples in there for inspiration.chrome/green will look lovely imo

ta m8 yes i bought them green tuff's just waiting 4 them 2 arrive. I just want 2 build myself a mint rider using decent stuff so bmx info on what crank or headset and bars 2 use would be great i was hopping that aero made the stuff 2 in on it 2 keep it all original.

Oh good score on the tuffs,they were a bargain!I wouldnt worry about the spec,just put the bits you would have wanted bitd on it,SKYWAY EZ II bars are easily available in chrome,I think theyd be a good start!maybe some sharp XC 1:11 grips in green,a nice green dominator seat,something like the green haro tyres that were for sale a few days ago too(was it you who bought em??!!)and youd be halfway there!but its your bike dude,do it how you want it!not having a bikeshop specsheet to build to is a blessing as it gives you free reign to build the bike of your dreams!!

Nice move, fella! A lot of us on RAD have had a Reflex at one time or another, and they are a great bike to build, light as fook, and well built. 

Have a look here - in the Aero Reflex Museum on RAD - if you have not already done so, for some inspiration: http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=5327.0

Good luck with your first build; shout me if you need some parts!

Hi mate, I've been sourcing parts over the winter for my nos reflex that I won back in Oct for £94, I aim to get it finished by March / April. I've gone for a blue & chrome theme & so far I've bought blue skyways, white wall tyres, blue skyway EZ bars, blue A'me tri grips, blue renthal layback, blue Hutch trik-top, SR spider & chain ring & an odyssey headset. I intend to finish it of with redline flight cranks, repop dia-compe mx 1000's & tech 3 or 4 levers, a half decent stem & a dia-compe re-pop seat clamp. I'll post pix when it's finished, I will not be using the original decals as they are minging, is Del back up & running yet?

Yes he is, send him a pm

Del back up & running yet?

SKYWAY EZ II bars are easily available in chrome,I think theyd be a good start!

Yeah, EX II bars in chrome look the nuts!!  However, they are a little on the costly side; I paid £70 for mine back in May 2011 so I would guess easily 70+ today..

But yeah, great bikes!!

Very good frame, great welds and good thick chrome. I just hat clipping my heels on the rear pegs which IMO are an inch too close to the BB. One day I'll grind them off and paint mine.

I have never ridden a Reflex.  Mine is just a few components away from riding.  Saying this, I have always ridden with the pedal in the soul/middle of my foot so hopefully my forward foot positon will keep my feet away from the pegs..

Time will tell..
