I've decided to sell the first bike I ever built from scratch, 'cos she never gets ridden and I need the cash.
Its built around a 1984 Aero Reflex Frame which I got unused, and before the decals had been applied. The frame is beautiful, and features standing plates on the rear of the frame, a beautiful Old School BMX detail. I attempted to build it using as many mid 80s parts as possible, mostly NOS. The bikes been used a bit, but is in excellent condition. It was never used for tricks (not my thing). With a few changes could be a perfect show bike, or is great to ride, collect or do trick on, or just to turn heads on the way to the corner shop.
Component list (with date of manufacture and condition when I bought it):
Frame / Fork: Aero Reflex (1984 - NOS)
Headset: Tioga Beartrap 2 (80s - NOS) - I'm fairly sure this is it, I can't quite remember
Stem: Haro Fusion (Mid 80s, NOS)
Bars: Kasuki Win CW-type Pro Handlebars (80s NOS)
Grips: Macneil Houndtooth Grips (Modern - new)
Levers: Shimano (Modern -new)
Front Brake: Odysee (Modern New)
Rear Brake: Unknown basic brand (Modern new)
Wheels: Either Blue OGK Mag wheels (mid 80s - lightly used), or Unknown (unknown, used)
Tyres: KHE Mac 1.5 kevlar Beaded, white (Modern, new) - Awesome tyres!
BB: Dynatron 1 piece BB (80s NOS)
Cranks: Haro Fusion One Piece (Mid 80s NOS)
Chain Ring: Tuff Neck 42T (1983, Lightly used and scuffed)
Pedals: Haro Fusion (mid 80s, NOS)
Freewheel: Unknown, separate one on each rear wheel
Seat Post Clamp: Haro Fusion (Mid 80s NOS)
Seat Post: Odyseey Snake Seatpost (80s, NOS)
Saddle: BMX (mid 80s, NOS)
Saddle Clamp: Haro Fusion (Mid 80s, NOS)
As mentioned before the brakes and levels are modern, but could easily either be removed altogether or replaced with Old School ones if desiresd
BOTH sets of wheels are included, as are the original frame decals (all pictured).
Prize is £425, but I' open to all reason able offers. The bike is collection only, but I can meet you with the bike anywhere within a reasonable distance (I live in Mile End).
If you have any questions please do ask.
