3 frames - Fuquay / C16R / Reflex which to build

[boxxer]

Picked up 3 frames today for not a lot of cash
1) Fuquay Custom which needs some work put in. It’s a 96/97 and has had a disk mount and brace added so that will need to go then it’ll need a respray. Currently bare except a Real BB

2) Reflex ALX 79, steel lugs with Easton Alu tubes, has a headset, stem and reflex forks. Don’t know much about Reflex

3) Orange C16-R 95/96 has a headset and F7 fork but nothing else, touch rusty in places but could get away with a rattle can I think

What would you build and what spec?

Fuquay first for me simply because it's the most interesting IMO. C16's are great riders but a bit white goods especially as the colours went boring after the Clockwork's.

Fuquay and if the disk mount has been done nicely then keep it

It’s ok but I want to run cantis and the plug in the wishbone has rusted out so needs some repair work anyway so rather than rebuild some of the 20 or so C2’s I have I’ll stick to period brakes

Fuquay - because!

I'd go the Fuquay.

Do it nice and do the man justice. Spec is your call, period correct would be nice because there was plenty of cool stuff being made around that time.
