Aero Reflex build.
« on: May 20, 2013, 11:43 PM »
Hi all,

Here starts the build for my....... Aero Reflex!  :shock: Yes I know an Aero Reflex build on here is nothing new but as I usually frequent raleighburner.com it is a new route for me.

I know it is not a Raleigh but as Raleigh did not produce a freestyle bmx I have had to look to another manufacturer.

I will add to this thread as I go.

The frame, obtained from curby and previously owned by eamonn I think, stripped of the old decals and powdered mid candy blue.








I got a, slightly modified!  :lol:, Renthal layback from peter2moped on raleighburner.com.  I have given it a coat of etch primer and flattened it down.  It will have another coat tomorrow and then get the paint started.

Nice frame sets these apart from that niggly rear frame stander either side that catch your feet.

What you putting on it bro  ???

Thanks for the links Terry!

I do not take into account anything after '86!!! Anything after '86 is New School to me.

I must admit I didn't remember the Shock at all.  Were they any good?

I have some Skyways, 880/901, tech 4, Fusion stem, Odyssey gyro, Sugino spider/chain ring, Aeroyal seat, MX seat post clamp, Shimano SX pedals and AME grips.

That clamp is getting either red glass paint and going on Jane's Custom Aero Pro work rider or white paint and going on this Aero Reflex build.

Thanks cdt808,  I have seen lots of chrome Aero Reflex build but only a handful of other finishes.

It is very similar to anno blue.  I love the candy colours straight on top of chrome.

It is a bit too cold for the rattle can today so the primer will have to wait.

I was talking to Russ J about his the other week.  They never seem to come up for sale/restoration.  I imagine you would have to reproduce one using a different kind of Burner.

The yellow is just etch primer Bendy.  I still have to put the white paint on.  :)

This is going to be white on candy blue.

I have progressed a little further this weekend while it was warm enough.





I think the temperature may have been too low for the last coat of white as it seems a little matt looking.
