Title: This was the bike that got me back into 80's BMX.
Post by: Chromo Buzz on December 08, 2010, 12:39 AM: Hi guy's,

Here's a pic of the bike i won on Ebay nearly a year ago(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/zz80/buzzer1971/bikephotos013.jpg)

I caught the 'build' bug & have since bullt up Haro Sport85(NOS), tried selling the reflex f/fork's back in May(but no takers).
Looking back i'm glad it did'nt sell :), i think the Aero Reflex is a very underrated bike >:(
The quality of the chrome/weld's is outstanding, & visually look's top drawer....the only draw back are the rather agricultural rear frame stander's!!

I stripped it down & went for a chrome/lavender combo, got some original 80's Tuff 2's(rear ally hub/front sealed) custom dyed them purple(probably looks blue in the pic's), Anlum Sport h/bar's,izumi chain,original Ame grips,Viscount Dominator seat. NOS lavender Tioga beartrap 2 h/set. A big thankyou to someone @MK10 for selling me the GT tyre's :daumenhoch:

A real big thank's to Del for sorting out the custom decal's :4_17_5:(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/zz80/buzzer1971/lavenderreflexpics008.jpg)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/zz80/buzzer1971/lavenderreflexpics009.jpg)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/zz80/buzzer1971/lavenderreflexpics011.jpg)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/zz80/buzzer1971/lavenderreflexpics010.jpg)(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums

Post by: Munnyella on December 08, 2010, 08:25 AM: I reckon thats the nicest reflex i've seen, not much of a fan of lavender, but you've got the balance right there, good work.

Post by: rollin72 on December 10, 2010, 09:31 AM: nice looking reflex, i wish i hadnt sold mine now it was coolio, those framestanders are a nightmare though, i took mine off using a dremmel, it rode so much better, stops you catching the back of your heel on them :daumenhoch:

Mate..... i could'nt agree with you more, searched high & low for original lavender tuff's but no luck :'(
Coloredtuffs.com now have new school tuff's in lavender reduced to $120 from $150 :) but i dont have the funds @the mo :-[

I've only been back in the game for a year & i've built 3bike's(nearly), this addictions almost cleaned me out >:D

Post by: stidds on December 11, 2010, 09:26 AM: Now I am not the biggest lover of freestyle bikes, only a few have ever made me stop and look but that is definately one of the ones I like.

Really nice job, very impressed. :4_17_5:

Post by: xGoose on January 10, 2011, 06:13 AM: Yep very nice build. hmoon27 has an og front lavender Tuff, not sure if he's looking for a rear to finish the set to keep or if he'd be interested in selling it but may be worth pming him. ;)
Title: Re: This was the bike that got me back into 80's BMX.
Post by: Tefore on January 24, 2011, 11:26 PM: cool. like the lavender one. and tbh i would keep them tuffs looks real custom.

Post by: MartyC on January 25, 2011, 02:57 PM: I still think the Aero Reflex is an underated f&f and as Tefore's pics show, they can build up into a really nice freestyler. I'm tempted to get one myself but think once my current projects are completed that will be it for me for a long while at least!

Post by: fischflo on January 26, 2011, 01:48 PM: loving that grapey look :smitten:

Tefore's black and blue are pretty awesome, too :coolsmiley:
