I would say no.  I built a (in my opinion) nicer Aero Reflex for half that sourcing the parts myself and had more fun doing it.

Up to you, but finding the deals and collecting the parts along the way is more fun that getting a complete bike (assembled or not) in one go, and you get some choice on what parts or colours to use.

Hi, If you need a bike quick fully built up then  Ok, but the fun of it all for many is sourcing the parts you want to make a great personal build. And it may come in alot cheaper than the one above.
Frame and forks £25 on ebay all the time

I have a fully built reflex for sale...flexible on price...in rare black. (okay i had it powdered satin black)
well, i say fully built it needs  a rear brake cable. and a lyback really.
