Aero Reflex HISTORY PLEASE

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?

Thats a great idea Dave,
I have a F&F still in it's box, haven't even taken it out, just bought it cos it was £28 posted from Joe !! I have a ton of spares to build it, but the Decals are totally wrong !
Does anyone do custom decals for it? (Silly question cos I know ya gonna say DEL???)
I may even get a custom set of 'Monkeybiscuits!' decals made, that'd be proper fuuuuuuuuny !! ;D

with 100's of them

Fook me, if only I could find a distro in this day and age who was prepared to take 50 frames never mind 1000!
JT71:
one of the main problems with the Reflex though is if you build it with good bits and then sell it you will almost always get more for it broken than as a whole. Maybe we'll make them cool and desireable.

Just found the ad in BMX Action Bike Feb85, Rad City (South Benfleet, Essex) were selling the frame and fork set for £125 (P&P was £2.50 ;D)
Just looking at the ad, a DP Firebird f&f for £69 , Skyway f&f for £145, Curtis f&f for £129, so the Reflex looks like it was up there in price
Bloody hell Rad City were also selling Dia Compe MX 1000 complete for £19.00 :shocked:

ahhh Rad City - Mecca for every Essex lad BITD - they sold everything - we would just go to stare at the shiny things we werent allowed...
Mate went to buy a new Hutch Pro Star and Brian of Rad City had sold the last in stock so he convinced him to buy a JMC Andy Patterson (no. 14 i think) instead - Touch as he still has it...
