- Today we restore a: 1985 Aero Reflex Freestyle BMX
Olschool 80's BMX
I always wanted one of these in the late 80s
picked up this sorry looking frame local to me for a bargain,
what follows is the usual drill.
Clean up, citric acid bath, soda bath, rinse, dry, polish, apply stickers then raid the parts bins,
my first time installing a Rota since the late 80s
We hope you enjoy the video & Restoration.

I'm a freak for a chrome bike so I have to say that build turned out Absolutely Gorgeous!!!
You have a great eye for details, and I especially like the skyway wheels and chain ring.
Some chrome pegs would be the only thing else I could ask for in a BMX freestyle bike.
Thank you so much for watching and the comments. I love chrome especially when its polished. Yeah I couldn't find any more stubby pegs. I'll keep an eye out.
Awesome vlog and job,bro. Massive respect 🙏 😊😊
Thank you 🙌 much appreciated
Cool save!
Thank you 👍 give the full video a watch.
Awsome work
Thank you
For one, that is a GORGEOUS machine. Another, you work like an artist! Add to those the production of the video... man, I'm just blown away!!!
Passed a few seconds into one of yours last night due to no narration and regretting it now, but now I get it and I'll be watching them all, to be sure! I also learned a couple handy methods I'll definitely be using ;) so GIGANTIC thanks for all the above!! Shaking my head over the magic I just witnessed.........
Wow thank you for the kind comment and watching all the videos. I have 14 more builds to do at the moment. Stick around for them in the future.
Better believe I will! Keep us updated on that museum, please :)
Awesome build! Colors and graphics screams 80’s…love it! Truly enjoy watching you take something rusty and making shine and most importantly back riding.
Thank you for the kind comments. I do try my best to bring oddities back to life. Got a few more rusty ones to do. . Thanks again
That rust removal is amazing. Great restoration and video as usual!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Yes! Thank you! It's great stuff. Simple and safe.. thanks for watching.
Really enjoyed this, excellent work 👌
Thank you so much.
Nice bike build!💯👊😎
Thanks ✌ much appreciated
Should call it the Sherbert Shredder🤘, killer build! Probably the best build video/edit I've seen👏 I'm running the same bars on my Quadangle
Sherbet creamsicle. Thank you. I really enjoyed this build. Must admit the edit was challenging but worth it. I love the weird bars from the 80s.
Really enjoyed that, you built a beautiful bike my friend. I have an Aero Reflex too, mines chrome with white seat, grips, brakes, spoked rims etc but mines strictly a carpet queen alongside my 86 tangerine orange GT Performer.
I've not seen Cillit Bang used to remove rust before, how bad a frame can it rescue because your frame looks mint on screen............
Hi thanks for watching. Your collection sounds mint. Its cilit bang citric acid in the tub. Citric acid works really well with minimal effort needed by yourself. Done a video on it on here. If the chrome has gone it wont bring it back. As for on screen what you see is how it turns out. Thanks again for watching.
Hermosa
Thank you so much.
かっこいい🎉
Thank you
Even the color of the grease used matches the bike 😱
Thank you . I do try lol.
That turned out awesome. What a cool bike! Great job and great to watch and see how go about restoring these. I have yet to try acid bath, but I have a '83 Norco/Cycle Pro that has a bit of rust pitting. Will get what I need tomorrow and give it a go! Thanks for posting these videos! Keep up the great work.
Comments like yours are what keep me motivated. I get to save a future/ageing classic and you get to learn things.
I really like this build. It's a little out of my comfort zone with using a rotor instead of the gyro but it works so all good.
Yeah just give it ago. Make sure you dry it off and spray the inside of the frame with wd40 then polish it to protect it.
I'm starting to film the next one soon.
Qué buen trabajo,impecable.Muy educativo el video.Hermosa la bicicleta¡
Thank you for your comment. Makes it worthwhile.
Oh yes I’ve been waiting for this!!!! I’m going to sit down and watch this with a beer tonight and a bit of peace and quiet! Looking forward to it! Itl definitely give me ideas for my next build!!! 🙌🏻
@@alexechilman sounds like a great plan. Enjoy it 👍👍👍👍
What a great job, congratulations 🔥🔥🔥 saludos 👍🏻
Thank you so much. I'm loving how it turned out.
Oooh I’ve been waiting for this!!! 🎉…il be sitting down tonight with a beer after work watching your hard work! I can’t wait! More inspiration for my next build to 🙌🏻
Please enjoy it. Its definitely been worth the wait.
Oh definitely mate I will do! Il leave another comment once I’ve watched it!…I got hold of a mongoose decade 1987 f&f set of you or anyone you know is interested 🎉
@@alexechilman would love a decade but I bet I cant afford it.
@@whitewellybmxrestorationsil drop you an email if want,if you can send it 👌🏻
Amazing restoration dude 👍👍
Thank you mate.
I owned an Aero Reflex but the big problem was the welded on rear drop-out platform they were too long and you were always catching your rear sole heels .
I know that feeling. I'm size 8 and clip them all the time.
why did you use an adapter on the seat tube?
The reflex is a strange frame. Uses thin wall tubing. As a result a 22.2mm post is sloppy. As the internal of the tube is 22.6mm.
Aero included a shim with the frame to "fix" this issue. Thank you for watching
Looks funky fresh now! ❤ Do you keep all your restored bikes or are they done with selling in mind?
Love it thank you. I'm keeping them for now.
When the time comes I'll advertise them on Instagram.
Thanks for watching
Freio traseiro na mão esquerda??
Yes. The uk standard is rear on the left..
Thank you for stopping by
I’ve got a quick question….will the citric acid damage or lift decals at all? As the ones that are on mine are original I don’t want to damage them or have to change them,be grateful for the advice 👍🏻
Hi I havnt tried it with decals but other people say it doesnt effect decals. It's your decision at the end of the day.
Il give it a go and il report back 🙌🏻
Não acostumo em ver ele colocando o freio traseiro na mão esquerda....
Thanks for watching. Here in the uk the brakes are on the opposite sides. Something to do with british standards and laws.
