Title: Aero Reflex
Post by: dannywhiteley on April 28, 2008, 09:25 AM
Always intended to get another of these as I had one for my first build (just before xmas), that set me off down this whole road to my current 3 complete bikes (T/A, Streetbeat and Robinson Pro).

Saw one on ebay being sold by Alans, and as I was up in Wigan on Friday for a meeting decided to drop a bid on as I could get a bargain not having to pay postage costs.

Got it for £26...result.  Had a chat with Alan while I was in there, a very nice fellow.  First time i'd been in the shop in my life.

Question is, if there hadnt been that large find of these frame/fork sets a couple of years back, how much would they go for?  And will they ever run out, or are there still loads about?

Not gonna build this one, but for £26 you just cant argue.  What else can you get for that money?

The old chesnut, if the Aero was a US make then these would be selling for far, far more than they are.  I think they are excellent value and if built up right can look really cool.  As a comparison a Sugino 1 pce crank would cost about £35 now and a pair of silver DC Tech 3 Levers about £25.  Makes them look very, very good value  :daumenhoch:.

My favourite subject :)
For £26 notes thats a great purchase, remember paying £35 about 2 years ago. I think back in the day they were selling for £125. The reflex was my first re-introduction to oldskool (cos it was cheap) and still remains my favourite build, cue sexy pic!!

Nice, the reflex was also my first build.  Built it over xmas and sold it shortly after to fund my Streetbeat

worth remembering that they are very short and the frame standers are in the way if ou have big feet.

but they do look nice, here's one i built, it's gone now though:
