Hi Pickle, I'm lovin that, very very nice indeed ;). Looks the daddies with the spokes and without the decals, very fresh/clean build. Are they Victor Beartrap pedals?

This is such a coincidence, I've decided to get another Reflex, this time as a racer/wobbler at future MK meets, virtually identical to yours, but with gold coloured parts.......suppose great minds think alike ;D I'm inspired :coolsmiley:

Bring on the Reflex Revolution.

cheers mate.........the pedals are Odosey shark bites, which are going to be changed for some silver DX style pedals.
The Blue shark bites and the blue chain ring will be going on my cheapo racer build for MK next year  :)

No...i was looking for a cheap race frame and forks to put together for MK and Daz-bmx-it came up with a box full of goodies for me  :)  all they needed were a clean up and that's it!  not sure if it's a real Ammaco or not? but i'm only going to keeping up the rear next year on it, so it doesn't matter too much!  ;D

The Aero is a superb frame for the money! and makes a brilliant rider  :smitten:  you can't go too wrong with em mate.  I don't have the funds to go after such things as the Harro's so mine have to be on a strict budget (on order of the Mrs!)  ;)

Looking good - I want one of these, but I always have more important things to buy  ::)

Oh, by the way, that lever looks out of place, I can swap it for something else with you if you like  ;) :angel:

run a straight one then mate

laybacks murder frames, unless they snap themselves.

Na didn't get the ELF  :(  there's been a few on the Bay recently but i aint got the money  :-\

The Reflex has cost.....

Frame + forks = £16
Crank = £6
Pedals = £5
Brakes = £12
Tyres = £14
Bars = £10

All the other bits i swapped or had knocking about for a few years......so all in all it's cost about £65??  and it rides really sweet!  :daumenhoch:

Pickle, try a Renthal layback seatpost, they're super tuff :daumenhoch:. I had an Odyssey layback fitted but it bent to a virtual upside down U bend at Bones!!!! Renthal do MX stuff and are quality.

Sorry for the delay in saying that looks cool mate - i'm that busy at work and home at the mo - that I can't spend time on the site !

The bike looks well cool - and spot on for the money ! My reflex is just short of a chain and I have designed some new decals !!!!!

Well done mate  :daumenhoch:
