1986 Raleigh Reflex

1986 Raleigh Reflex

Raleigh Reflex Rollie Fingers

This bike was built for the 2012 Summer Build-off. I wanted to find the most uncool bike I could find. This was at first an obvious choice. When I received the frame set I noticed it was really made well. Later I found the original test for the bike and started to actually like it. I tried to have fun and give the bike an identity. There was a thread in which another member asked how to pronounce Raleigh. I posted a picture of retired MLB pitcher Rollie Fingers for a goof, but that is how I always pronounced Raleigh. My influence was Rollie Fingers, the BMX Action test, and the original version of the Raleigh Reflex. Enjoy!
Rollie Fingers custom decals were made with permission from pop artist Derek Erdman: http://www.derekerdman.com/

Thanks so much! I put a lot of work into this build. It really was just for fun, but it was entered in the summer build off with no expectations of winning, being a Raleigh Reflex and all, but the compliments on the bike have made all the work worth it. Thanks again!! smile
