Took a punt on these.............& it paid off!!
« on: February 26, 2012, 12:32 AM »
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 :smitten:, 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 8), 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  :daumenhoch:),NOS lavender tioga chainring bolts,custom painted Victor pedals/sr stem & lastly the NOS lavender ACS Z mags  :coolsmiley:

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

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

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 :wtf:
He's now dropped them down to 250 bucks BIN or make an offer. Makes my deal seem even sweeter :)

Thanks for all the really nice comments chaps :daumenhoch:
Seem's there's a fair bit of luv out there for the humble Reflex :smitten:, 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 :coolsmiley:
