I'm a bit confused with the Egress pic above, My brother had one, and Steve 'Old Dog' Haynes also raced them at our club all those years back.... And you're right about not being able to afford them then let alone now. Anyway, I remember them being like in the pic below, (A photo from the net) not with plastic suspension parts as on the one above. It was the Avante that had the plastics, wasn't it?
