Is this not an Aero Reflex with the rear standers cut off? hard to tell as pic isn't that clear?

I'm sure someone will be along in a min to verify

If its an Aero Reflex, someone has indeed cut the standers off but, they have also added 990 mounts, then had it re chromed. I can't see any reason why someone would spend that time and effort on a Reflex $:-\$

Can we get some better pics of the frame all round

Isnt this someone who lists bikes on ebay sometimes?

The classic listing of "skyway ta rep" etc etc.

Basically put any such named stickers on it and it becomes a "rep".

Id stay clear..

I don't think it has had the standers cut off I've looked at aero reflex and they have aero stamped it to the top bar just behind the set post and this bike dose not have aero stamped in to it any where
It was on eBay as that's the picture from eBay

Don't know what it is but I'd leave it well alone too. $:-\$

Better pics would concur that it is not an Aero reflex...just looks like a generic late 90's freestyle frame probs

ps...didn't spot the canti mounts at first

Thanks for help
Looks like I've brought a bike that wasn't what is was advertised as top man he was NOT !!!
Still it looks nice but it's not what I'm after a rep

how much did you pay for it?

Jaymz · « **Reply #10 on:** September 24, 2015, 07:24 PM »

It's a late 90s generic Taiwanese frame that was sold en masse to multiple distributors and stickered up in a plethora of different guises from universal, Townsend, Apollo to random names like street fighter and dirt carver

Drewnag1 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 24, 2015, 08:02 PM »

I don't pay much but I'm guessing it was to much money as it's not what it's meant to be £200
So it's not any make at all

Sorry dude its not what you thought, the guy builds these things and sells them as reps, (if you can even call them that) naughty really ..even the parts are bankrupt bike parts specials .
Squint your eyes and it looks deceiving, then the pictures are taken in a nice location all part of the trick.
Sure I've seen his stuff on fb too?

good call, the frames and forks were for sale on eBay not too long back for £20 the rest of the parts look to have come from the same eBay seller, bankruptbikeparts

Well lesson learned there don't trust some people
I will be seeing him again !!

Do you have the original listing dude? If he has listed it as a rep but you didn't see it....you don't really have a leg to stand on. Unfortunately what you have bought is not worth much more than the Aero decals on it! Keep a look out on here...REAL Aero Reflex's come up now and again. Is there any reason why you wanted an Aero Reflex in particular?

Drewnag1 · « **Reply #17 on:** September 30, 2015, 09:22 AM »

I do have the original listening and it was not listed as a rep but I didn't buy it through eBay but was on there
I was only after a aero reflex as one of my friends had one when we was kids and I always wanted one but mum wouldn't buy me one
I'm going to put aero reflex decals on it for now until I find a feel one
