Bought an Avanti Blade Elite 3 weeks ago. http://www.avantibikes.com/bikes_detail.asp?id=171&t=4 ...... No other bike in the price range ($1600) has the level of quality equipment, ...... Very nice. Mine was ~$1100 but it has'nt got all Shimano. The front shocks and brakes are RST. -- Regards, Bob |

Avanti bikes.
I have to say that I have always found Avanti bikes to be a good buy considering the cost in comparison to other bikes of similar quality Sure I'm not a super serious cyclist, and am not super technica either, but I have had four Avanti bikes over the years (both road an mountain bikes), and have never had a problem until the one I've got a the moment. I took it back a month after I bought it for it's fre service and it had a crack in the headset. Obviously not a good thing and I was concerned that it happened so soon after I bought it. Bu they upgraded the quality of the frame (without me even saying thing), going from a Vivace to a Kona. Can't complain about that Plus I am a Kiwi (typically living in Australia now... is there anyon actually left in NZ?), and I like buying home grown stuff -- Pipba |
