Hi Pickle, I'm lovin that, very very nice indeed ;). Looks the daddies with the spokes and without the decals, very fresh/clean build. Are they Victor Beartrap pedals?
This is such a coincidence, I've decided to get another Reflex, this time as a racer/wobbler at future MK meets, virtually identical to yours, but with gold coloured parts.......suppose great minds think alike ;D I'm inspired :coolsmiley:
Bring on the Reflex Revolution.

cheers mate.........the pedals are Odosey shark bites, which are going to be changed for some silver DX style pedals.
The Blue shark bites and the blue chain ring will be going on my cheapo racer build for MK next year :)

Pickle, that's another fine frame...was that advertised for sale recently by another member?
Me is well jealous :( :LolLolLolLol:
Addictive stuff ain't it...been lookin around for another F&F but have ended choosin another Reflex...think it's gonna be my signature bike the Aero!!!
-
No...i was looking for a cheap race frame and forks to put together for MK and Daz-bmx-it came up with a box full of goodies for me :) all they needed were a clean up and that's it! not sure if it's a real Ammaco or not? but i'm only going to keeping up the rear next year on it, so it doesn't matter too much! ;D
The Aero is a superb frame for the money! and makes a brilliant rider :smitten: you can't go too wrong with em mate. I don't have the funds to go after such things as the Harro's so mine have to be on a strict budget (on order of the Mrs!) ;)
-
Looking good - I want one of these, but I always have more important things to buy ::)
Oh, by the way, that lever looks out of place, I can swap it for something else with you if you like ;) :angel:
-
Nice ride mate, i'm toying with the idea of an Aero for my everyday ride myself.
:D
-
cool bike ive just bought an aero aswell gonna finish it soon and get it in the museum
are the rear dropouts a bit thin or is it just me that thinks that?

Very nice Pickle. Also been debating on getting one myself ???
-
that looks real nice!!
the layback looks snaptastic though.
hope you are light!!!
-
Cheers guys :) yes the layback does look a tad snapish?? i will have to look at that tonight ???
As for light? well that's something i haven't been for quite a ferw years now! ;D
-
run a straight one then mate
laybacks murder frames, unless they snap themselves.
-
Problem is i'm 6' 2" so it all ends up a bit cramped :(
-
dont pedal sitting down!!!
or get a TA xl ;)
-
That looks cool Pickle 8)!! What does it stand you in ? ££'s ??
Did you ever get the ELF you were after ?? :-\
-
Na didn't get the ELF :( there's been a few on the Bay recently but i aint got the money :-\
The Reflex has cost.....
Frame + forks = £16
Crank = £6
Pedals = £5
Brakes = £12
Tyres = £14
Bars = £10
All the other bits i swapped or had knocking about for a few years......so all in all it's cost about £65?? and it rides really sweet! :daumenhoch:
-
I'll give you 70 for it today
-
I'll give you 70 for it today
£71 ! :LolLolLolLol:
Amazing value in a mad mad world !!!
-
thanks guys but this ones destined for Epic on the 2nd! :daumenhoch: could even get the nod infront of mt Beat for the Children in need cruise
-
Cheers guys :) yes the layback does look a tad snapish?? i will have to look at that tonight ???
Pickle, try a Renthal layback seatpost, they're super tuff :daumenhoch:. I had an Odyssey layback fitted but it bent to a virtual upside down U bend at Bones!!!! Renthal do MX stuff and are quality.
-
I'll look into one of those then mate.....cheers! :daumenhoch:
-

-
Sorry for the delay in saying that looks cool mate - i'm that busy at work and home at the mo - that I can't spend time on the site !
The bike looks well cool - and spot on for the money ! My reflex is just short of a chain and I have designed some new decals !!!!!
Well done mate :daumenhoch:
-
They're a sweet ride aint they! yours look the dogs too! :)
Designed new decals???? count me in for a set of those puppies mate :daumenhoch:
Hope they're not working you too hard though mate....although i guess you have to pay for those builds somehow? ;)

Not looked too much into any of the meets as yet as it'll be easier to meet up at a weekend while giving the new ride a go.
Ive got so far:
ACS Z-Mags
MX900 brakes
Am'e Tri grips in white
Redline flight chainwheel 45 tooth
NOS GT platform pedals (got to change these for some 9/16th ones)
The rest of the stuff is being sought as we speak. :daumenhoch:
As soon as i get the rest of my stuff it'll be built and piccies taken - rest assured.
-
I'm just building up an aero reflex, and this is a daft question, but whats the best way to fit the front wheel :-[?
The forks are too narrow at the bottom for a standard 10mm axle....!
-
Not a stupid question mate, they're designed to take the 10mm axles which are flattened on either side (like the tuffs front axle) what i did was just file the axle away a little on either side of the hub, you don't need to do much though.......just file a little then check, file a little then check again
Bobs your uncle! :daumenhoch:

Bobs your uncle! :daumenhoch:
And Fanny's your Aunt 8)
-
excellent, thanks for the tip - I must admit I'm impressed with the quality of the F+F, yours is a sweet build!
-
i just posted a reply about aero f+f in the wanted section!!!
are these frames nice and light? seriuosly want to put one together. thats a nice looking build btw :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
-
Not as light as my street beat but it's not heavey that's for sure! take it from me (and many others on here) the quality of these frames are spot on! for £30 or so you cannot buy a better frameset mate.......they're a great ride too! :daumenhoch:

Good job i've bought a complete bike from Aditup2004 then.
Im well pleased that this is my 1st ride.
It'll either stop the desire for a Haro or fuel it, either way im well chuffed.

Any news on those new decals? I really don't like the stock ones.
-
My F & F should be here in a couple of days :) Just gotta decide what colour to go for and all the rest of the stuff that goes with it ???
And I like the decals, they're stayin :daumenhoch:

Youve got to go black and orange then, Orange tuff II's with some panaracer tyres.
I did consider that for mine if i built it from scratch.
Seeing as i haven't it's not gonna happen, although i've got some black z-rim mags to stick on it and some Dia Compe MX900's.
Wonder if my Redline Flight chainwheel will fit on that crank too.?????
-
Do like the orange. been checking the ones out in the museum. Dark red nice too..or somat different....confused at the mo...... :D

As said before, i need to get rid of the stock decals as i think theyre pap.

The decals are a love em or loathe em kinda item, I like Pickles fresh look without em, but I'm also partial to them as well. It's a top frame and fork and I think you've made a great choice ;). Check this link as an alternative (GT Performer decals) Reflex :daumenhoch:
