Nothing wrong with a Reflex! Fine for an OS build on a budget!

spesh · « **Reply #26 on:** June 18, 2008, 12:06 AM »

didnt i read somewhere that there was a warehouse full of reflexes and it got infested with spiders and no one would go in there to retreive them so they were left for years
could be wrong but someone must know

great bike for a first build and that performer/reflex is what started me off on here nearly two years ago
heres my old one

When i first started going to shiners 5/6 years ago there was a warehouse full of them 200/300+ and it
was the same for the Haros & skyways just loads of them over the years they have dried up now its the
turn of the Aero reflex's not many left now

Sorry don't know any history of them but i'll ask Chris

I'm sure the f&f was going for £125 bitd, I've seen it advertsied in an old BMX Action mag...will try and dig out the ad and post it up.

As for other history, when I got mine, there was an A4 size leaflet about the Reflex, can't recall what it said but will have a look for that as well

they all come with that A4 letter it's from Aero and lists Shiners as the distributor. It's not dated, but is pretty old, no "1" after the "0" on the phone numbers. The 01 came in in 1995 so the letters are at least that old, and probably ten years older than that.

looks like 01 736 to me!!

yes you f***ing knob, because that's a London number. The code was 01. obviously now it's 0208 or 0207.

if you cast your mind back to when you were less of a retard you will remember the number for your home phone was 0789, where as now it'll be 01789.

I knew there would one mongoloid who pointed that out.

see the shiner number that's 0272, it might have become 01272, but at some point Brizzel numbers got totally changed so they had a 0117 code then a 7 figure number.

I'm pretty sure all that's left is a pile of reflex frame and forks in Shiners. that's it. There is no Aero.

but i could be wrong.

JT Smooth · « **Reply #43 on:** June 18, 2008, 04:08 PM »

A pile of about 50 left

According to Companies House records, the company was dissolved on 22-01-91.

I wonder how many Alans and Vert-Ego have left? I got about 25, five of which are spoken for.

if I can fire the other 20 out a bit sharpish I might have them last two pallets.

I think he must have. He even gave me an ear bashing on messenger...............and strangly the power tripped straight after. Me thinks he blew a fuse!

Swivel · « **Reply #48 on:** June 18, 2008, 04:26 PM »

Always liked Aero's very underrated bikes

Stodgy · « **Reply #49 on:** June 18, 2008, 04:29 PM »

Yep, supposed to ride real nice and at such a low cost, worthwhile building a cheap rider while you still can.

Perhaps we should re-ignite the idea of an AERO RELEX build-off (one was started a couple of years ago but never really went anywhere)?

What do you guys reckon?
