Now I've stripped the aero reflex here is the result of the actual plan for the Torker

Redlines, tx1200's, torker 6 bolt stem, acs z mags, tufnec chainwheel, shimano freewheel, DC mx1000 etc

Bob_Acid · « **Reply #24 on:** April 13, 2013, 06:46 PM »

Looking good

I thought the LPX was the same size as the 280x but just the frame only option, as in LP 280/LPX 280x
