Still need a black chain ring, black levers and a front black cable.......but for the money it's cost to put this baby together, i don't think you can beat em!

a great ride too!!

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

I'm inspired

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

Pickle, that's another fine frame...was that advertised for sale recently by another member?
Me is well jealous

Addictive stuff ain't it...been lookin around for another F&F but have ended choosin another Reflex...think it's gonna be my signature bike the Aero!!!

pickle · « **Reply #4 on:** September 25, 2006, 02:45 PM »

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!

The Aero is a superb frame for the money! and makes a brilliant rider

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

Nice ride mate, i'm toying with the idea of an Aero for my everyday ride myself.

spesh · « **Reply #7 on:** September 25, 2006, 07:24 PM »

theRuler · « **Reply #10 on:** September 25, 2006, 09:05 PM »

that looks real nice!!

the layback looks snaptastic though.
hope you are light!!!

pickle · « **Reply #11 on:** September 26, 2006, 09:39 AM »

Cheers guys

yes the layback does look a tad snapish?? i will have to look at that tonight

As for light? well that's something i haven't been for quite a ferw years now!

theRuler · « **Reply #12 on:** September 26, 2006, 09:47 AM »

run a straight one then mate

laybacks murder frames, unless they snap themselves.

pickle · « **Reply #13 on:** September 26, 2006, 10:21 AM »

Problem is i'm 6' 2" so it all ends up a bit cramped

theRuler · « **Reply #14 on:** September 26, 2006, 10:23 AM »

or get a TA xl

brass monkey! · « **Reply #15 on:** September 26, 2006, 11:46 AM »

That looks cool Pickle

!! What does it stand you in ? ££'s ??

Did you ever get the ELF you were after ?? $:-\$

pickle · « **Reply #16 on:** September 26, 2006, 01:47 PM »

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!

Pickle, try a Renthal layback seatpost, they're super tuff

. 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.

pickle · « **Reply #21 on:** September 26, 2006, 03:05 PM »

I'll look into one of those then mate.....cheers!

spesh · « **Reply #22 on:** September 26, 2006, 08:53 PM »

jT Racing · « **Reply #23 on:** September 26, 2006, 09:09 PM »

sweet build . does not look like a budget bike.

Gashead · « **Reply #24 on:** September 27, 2006, 08:37 AM »

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
