Well fellas, after having to let aditup2004 down on his complete bike i wondered what to do regarding bmx's due to personal circumstances.

Then i saw that fishface had a second hand Aero Reflex frame/fork set for Â£30 inc postage - i already had Â£14 in paypal so basically it cost me Â£16 delivered.

That's what i call a result in my book.

The rest of the stuff i already had here.

I've got a cheap seatclamp/stem/crank and bottom bracket coming which should give me a completed bike for around Â£45

Not as pristine as Ad's bike at all, but it's got me on the ladder for next to bugger all.

Well here it is in it's current state of build.

Hopefully be able to join you guys real soon.

Let me know what you think

Looks good, I like those F&F's. Minihaha, now Steve P had a real beauty and built it up using GT Performer Stickers, looked fantastic. I think the original stickers look better in monochrome rather than the orange but it's each to their own

For the money you can't beat it that's for sure

I agree with the stickers, i loved that GT replica on Bagio's site isn't it?

I'll get round to removing the stickers - not got a hairdryer handy now

LOL

Thanks mate, i stumbled across yours when i 1st found Biagio's site.

Thought it look awesome then and still do to this day.

Mine needs a bloody good clean and polish to make it look the bollox, i also need to strip and re-coat the brakes, but tbh - with it being my everyday ride im bound to fall off it so not sure if i really need to do that.

Will post up pics everytime i get nearer to it being finished.

Might even get meself a GT decal set meself
