Took a punt on these.............& it paid off!!

[Chromo Buzz]

Mornin all,

I saw these on Ebay US with the description of 'NOS grey but might be light lavender'dated May 85, so i asked the seller nicely if he would ship to the UK & he said yes .
It turned out i was the only one who bid on them, & the parcelforce guy dropped these off on friday morn

I was over the moon as they turned out to be lavender , just what i needed to finish of my build(winning bid on $88 )

Here's a pick of the bike before


And after


I am over the moon with the end result , the final tweeks have been adding the panaracer freestyle tyre's, lavender DC cables(86), Sharp lavender brake cover's(big thanks to radmember crossdave  ),NOS lavender tioga chainring bolts,custom painted Victor pedals/sr stem & lastly the NOS lavender ACS Z mags 

I think the Reflex is best described as the 'Marmite' of old school freestyle BMX......you either love em or hate em
Overall all i am well stoked with the end result of this build  , i think i like it more than my three Haro's

Thanks for looking fella's,.........Buz

There's a guy on US Ebay at the mo selling a set of NOS lavender, he originally had them up for 800 bucks starting bid
He's now dropped them down to 250 bucks BIN or make an offer. Makes my deal seem even sweeter

[Chromo Buzz]

Thanks for all the really nice comments chaps
Seem's there's a fair bit of luv out there for the humble Reflex , Question now guy's is.......is it good enough to put in the next 'bike of the month' ?? Bit of a daunting prospect as the quality of all the builds on here are top drawer
