NITO Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 I love the amount of metal compoments on the Avante amd the unique camlock wheels. It was at the very tail end of my era, the Bigwig, Bruiser and 959 were the daddies in my day! Nice to have an original kept in that condition.

Need the rear arms Mine have both snapped being in storage Hi Jordan Do you mean the trailing arms that come from the chassis to the hub? If so I might have a pair of used ones.
