Ok the general consensus is that they are a quality bike, good welds, finish etc. Icannot remember the price of them bitd but I would have thought abot the same price as a DP. So far all well and good.
I'm just curious as to why there are so many available today, and at such a cheap price , in the original packaging (I bought one :daumenhoch:)
Also all those raw streetbeats?
Would be good if someone could enlighten me :-[ :-[
-
thay made too many and nobody wanted them until recently.

The StreetBeats came from a stash of old abandoned stuff at Skyway.
On the VBMX forum the question of how come it'd been left for so long was finally answered by Ed Ferri (the source of my personal F&F) himself:
"Yeah... spiders...... yuck!
FYI... this is kinda funny actually.
Remember how Skyway 'found" those 20 year old Streat Beat frames last year? Ever wonder how a company can "lose" a hundred frames without knowing for 2 decades? Too big of a warehouse? Nah..... just a storage unit infested with Black Widow Spiders!
Who the heck would want to go in there?
Me.... next week! (If I don't chicken out!) "

You would n't get me going in for a streetbeat or an Aero :shocked:
but a 24kt Hutch,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,fook the arachnoids let me at it >:D
-
the streetbeat is 1000 times better than an aero reflex
-
So is there a finite number of these Reflex things will they eventually just run out
Anybody know or even care??
Nice frames though
-
Guess they will run out soon, I got one a couple of years ago... nice lookin for the money, paid £110 all built up from NOS with red zytecs on it and all red anodised parts :)
