factory pilot:
I love mine ... A great starter frame and forks to get your build skills up to speed on  ...
I remembered the adverts from BITD...
I'm finally riding mine at Chester on Saturday after several changes over the years and it being a carpet queen ..

The only thing to worry about is the non-standard seatpost tube but I used a powder coated one and it fits fine ... Most people get a shim to fill in the gap and someone here on rad may have one lurking somewhere if you ask nicely  :daumenhoch:

If the weather stays good I'll get some piccies of mine posted up before the Chester ride  8)

I don't know too much about the brand, apart from they used to make gloves/ race pants/jerseys.... but from what I have read......The aero Reflex came to the freestyle market very late (85/86??)  and was quite expensive for what it was ( basically another Performer copy) and a bit dated at a time when frame development was moving direction fast. It is a nice quality frameset just wasn't popular back in the day because of the aforementioned reasons. As a result loads were left over and sold off cheap when bmx kinda died in the mainstream giving the impression it was a low end frameset when it actually wasn't. If you have big feet they have a habit of catching on the rear framestanders! They come about often enough for sale if you were looking to buy one!  :daumenhoch:

factory pilot:
Yeah I've been warned about the  framestanders  too! I'll give you my verdict after Saturday !  :LolLolLolLol:
I think it copied the GT Pro-performer heavily ....
I'm sure they are many Radster that have got or at one time owned one.
I think the market price is about £200 for a NOS one.
Not bad for a brand new in the box Chrome f and f ... But...
I'm sure many Radsters also got theirs for £40 when that first big glut was found about ten years ago !
