Any idea where I can buy Swiss stainless spokes at less than $1 a go?

If I can't get them that cheap, you can't.

Here's the Avanti Blade range on their website - http://www.avantibikes.com/bikes.asp?t=4

Nothing there with a Nexus hub though. Maybe try using the contact page on the Avanti web site, they seem to be pretty responsive.

I am just waiting for the phone call from Avanti to tell me I won the Corsa Team roadie in the TDF competition (came 1st equal with about 400 other people.) Yuck green colour, but with carbon bits and pieces, Airplane tubing and Dura Ace who'd complain :D

LOL words of a true salesman. I'll be in touch once I know what guage, length & nipple size I want. :)

Allan Davis just missed out winning the HEW Classic :( Finished 3rd...fastest "sprinter" in the group so it was a shame to see him miss out, especially cause he is a fellow QLDer ;)

I'm worried about you two :D

At least we're not being stuffed into the back of police cars! :)

Yet...

jock 07-31-05 07:39 PM

ROFLMAO. Very funny wattsy.

The copper that climbo was with sure had a lead foot. I guess he only ever learnt two speeds in driver ed: stopped and full throttle!

climbo 07-31-05 08:28 PM

if only we got to go further in that thing, he was flying !! I only get in Falcons when it's a free ride in a cop car. :)

Well, he seemed to be enjoying himself anyway :) It must have been a pleasant change for him to be tromping through the bush and hooning around instead of attending accidents/arguing with idiots/doing paperwerk

Climbo hanging with coppers? What did I miss?

Thylacine 08-01-05 02:17 AM

I'm guessing it doesn't involve a female cop taking off her hat, unfurling her blonde locks and throwing her hat....

....or maybe it does?

badsac 08-01-05 03:11 AM

More like a big, hairy backed, copper with a big truncheon.

Brian 08-01-05 03:51 AM

Ok, got a question for NSw riders near Newcastle. I'm looking for an Electra dealer, and any other shops that carry cruiser/chopper style bikes. I've tried Hadley's and Civic Bikes, but would like to know if anyone has any other suggestions. Cheers.

badsac 08-01-05 04:02 AM

What's an Electra? Not a Harley Electra Glide?

Brian 08-01-05 04:10 AM

Er, no, not just yet. We're saving the HD for wedding anniversary number 5. In the meantime, we want some beach cruisers.

badsac 08-01-05 04:15 AM

Oooooo. Purty flowers. I could just see you riding about on that beflowered thing Expat. That's if I knew what you looked like. :lol:

Brian 08-01-05 04:31 AM

Actually, that's the one we looked at for the missus. They're really quite deluxe bikes. Choosing one for me will be much more difficult.

Other than the fact that they're in the US, and out of stock, thanks for that. :D

Hadleys is a dealer, basically it's GT.
