Watch you don't slip with the 'Metal Hammer' as you might hit something and it will go 'Kerrang' and your fingers might end up 'Raw'!!

PS: Someone help the guy

Hi os-crazy

Have you got anymore pics, headsets are a real nightmare

My Reflex was my first build and that was the most difficult part of the build.

Good one, I can't think of anymore

.

Nice Reflex as well beard, saw that in your 'Budget Build' post, spotless build as per usual from you and those decals are the biz

oops forgot pics.

here they are any way. just taken it 5 mins ago.
havent actually put my headset on yet, but i have a sugino crank, suntour stem in black arriving soon, a suntour seat clamp, and odysseyy seat post. comments welcomed, cheers.

aerostylie · « **Reply #15 on:** May 17, 2007, 06:24 PM »

Is this your first o/s build? I think they're a good starter to get back into the scene and are a decent frame. Did you get forks with the frame?

Can't go wrong with sugino and suntour parts

........although I had an Odyssey layback and bent it right back at one of the meets, so now use a Renthal layback, much stronger.

Good luck with the build

Put the Reflex togethe and learn from the build. Then ride it like a bike is meant to be. Show bikes are nice, but you cant ride em'.

Relfex's are little beauties so enjoy it.
