1984 Aero Reflex
1984 Aero Reflex
Aero Reflex built from NOS parts with custom decals
Recently purchased this bike from ebay following an urge to relive my childhood interest in BMX. I would still like to restore a Mongoose/Supergoose but haven't found the right one yet. Never really liked the Aeros because of the red decals but this beauty came with custom black and white ones, which meant a chrome and black colour scheme would work. Hope you agree! Built entirely from NOS parts but not all period specific although most sympathetic to the 80s.
1984 frame & forks, GT piston stem, win pro bars, ame tri grips, dia-compe tech 77 brake levers, dia compe bull dog callipers, elina ultra lite seat & post, odyssey seat clamp, GT power series one piece crank, bear trap type pedals, tioga sealed bottom bracket, bear trap 2 headset, tuff neck powerdisc & sugino chainring, izumi chain, 20" skyway tuff wheels with kenda whitewall tyres, custom made aero reflex decals, aero pads, dice dust caps and cable crimps and protective clear frame stickers.
Frame now sold.

Re: 1984 Aero Reflex
A great example of the '84 Aero Reflex!
The black and chrome colourway definitely has a classy feel to it but has still kept true to the aesthetic of many BMX models of that time including Torker, Haro Master and Diamond Back Silver streak to name but a few.
Looking forward to your next project!

Re: 1984 Aero Reflex
Thanks for the positive feedback. Clearly someone with great taste. Next project will probably be a Mongoose California 1983/84 if I can find one for the right price. You mention the Diamond Back Silver Streak which brings back some memories although I always thought the frame size was slightly smaller than normal BMXs, so probably not suitable for a slightly overweight, six foot, forty something!
