Title: Built from a Â£16 f/f so far.
Post by: mightynimrod on October 22, 2006, 09:58 PM: Well fellas, after having to let aditup2004 down on his complete bike i wondered what to do regarding bmx's due to personal circumstances.

Then i saw that fishface had a second hand Aero Reflex frame/fork set for Â£30 inc postage - i already had Â£14 in paypal so basically it cost me Â£16 delivered.

That's what i call a result in my book. :daumenhoch:

The rest of the stuff i already had here.

I've got a cheap seatclamp/stem/crank and bottom bracket coming which should give me a completed bike for around Â£45

Not as pristine as Ad's bike at all, but it's got me on the ladder for next to bugger all.

Well here it is in it's current state of build.

I think the original stickers look better in monochrome rather than the orange but it's each to their own :LolLolLolLol:

For the money you can't beat it that's for sure :daumenhoch:

I agree with the stickers, i loved that GT replica on Bagio's site isn't it?

I'll get round to removing the stickers - not got a hairdryer handy now ;) LOL

Post by: mightynimrod on October 22, 2006, 10:52 PM: Thanks mate, i stumbled across yours when i 1st found Biagio's site.

Thought it look awesome then and still do to this day.

Mine needs a bloody good clean and polish to make it look the bollox, i also need to strip and re-coat the brakes, but tbh - with it being my everyday ride im bound to fall off it so not sure if i really need to do that.

Will post up pics everytime i get nearer to it being finished.

Might even get meself a GT decal set meself :D
