This ’85 Avanti Deluxe 10 S.L.X. comes to us, thanks to Adrian T, all the way from Hastings, New Zealand.  We’ve never had Avantis here in the States (that I know of), but if they’re all sweet as this one, I could get used to them real quickly.  Definitely check out Adrian’s two blogs, The Avanti Project and The Flying Wheel. Some very nice restorations of bikes we don’t see much of in the U.S.

Ahoy there, thought you guys and girls might like this 1985 Avanti SLX I have restored, this was one of Avanti’s first ten speeds. You can read more about it on my blog http://theavantiproject.blogspot.com/
Just about finished restoring a late ’80’s Avanti Sprint. so will send through some photo’s of that when done.Love your site.
If any one would like a copy of the file to make some SLX decals, just drop me a email adrian@theflyingwheel.com everything is there to take to your local signwriter.

Best
Adrian

Thanks Adrian
