Just reading a few BMX Actions that Poolysheriff has sent me (cheers again  :daumenhoch:) and I cant believe my eyes.  Ive heard about this but never seen it...till today.

Advert for Jaro BMX shop in Blackpool circa January 1985.

Frame and fork sets

Curtis Expert or Pro.....................................£99.95
Skyway T/A..................................................£169.95
Firebird Freestyler.........................................£74
Rebel Freestyler (white or chrome)..............£74.95
The new Rebel Freestyler.......................£115
Aero Reflex..................................................£129.00


When you look at what NOS examples of each of the above go for now (T/A - £500+, Firebird Freestyler - £250+, Curtis - £250+), then the good old Aero Reflex weighin in at £20+...lol 

Just shows it must have been a fairly good frame to justify the cost (or maybe thats why there are so many left - cos nobody bought one BITD?)


And by the way, if the Rebel Freestyler (white or chrome) is the frame in my signature, then which of the other Rebel Freestyle frames is the 'new Rebel Freestyler', and did it justify the extra £40?

PHIPPSIO:
COMETH THE HOUR, COMETH THE REFLEX, IT WILL RISE LIKE THE MACHINES..........AAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA................ :)

I thought the same when I came across a similar advert a while back...

...the thing is, I don't remember anyone actually owning a reflex round my way as a kid, don't recall anyone riding one as a Pro, they only seemed to exist in magazine adverts...

...so maybe you are right - £130 was a tad too rich for GT copy in the mid 80s and that's now why you can have one for a price of a trip to the cinema.

Shame the same thing didn't happen to Trickstars...
