my 63 speedster:
I picked up this Avanti Breeze on ebay in Sydney, Australia for $50 and am in the process of deciding what to do with it. Avanti is a New Zealand brand but I havn't been able to find any info or even a picture of this model on the net so I guess it is quite unique. Luckily there is a sticker from the original bike dealer so I am hoping he can give me a year and some info on her.
I may Rat her out as per my photoshopped pic below, what do you think?

Westfield built 1930 Hartford Camelback. Refurb/restoration finally finished & back on the road.
BEFORE (What I started with: a parted out frame, fenders, crank, & handlebars):
AFTER (all correct original parts found & new 700c Ghisallo carbon fiber lined wood rims):

A little late posting but I did get one built on a pretty tight budget.

Here's mine. Not sure of the year,make or model. I got this for free and disassembled it, cleaned it up, threw a rattle can flat grey paint job on it, and replaced some parts. I am the only one here at Camp Buehring, Kuwait with a bike like this.

Not trying to knock you, but is that considered a camel back? I thought camel backs were just the bent top bar no other middle bars? I thought they call those straight bar frames.

Sean, Camelback has a single bent top bar. Yours with a middle bar is considered a motorbike or motobike frame. Since that bike made it all the way to Camp Buehring, Kuwait though, I think we can give it "honorary" camelback status. Sweet bike and I bet everyone over there is a little jealous of it!!!!!!!!
Decided to bump this thread back up by posting a current pic of my 1930 Hartford with more accessories added. I know there are more camelback frames out there that are just screaming, POST ME!!!!!!!!!!!! This frame style just does not get the love they deserve to me.
That's so sweet!
I sold my Schwinn. I'm camel backless again.

There was a Raleigh like this but near mint at an antique store, they wanted $1100 obo .....so I laughed....he didn't take my offerbeatcad said:i just got this from fellow member charles.
just a raliegh frame. i forgot that they had odd brit bearings. i dug thru my parts bin and found cool cups/bearings races and a fork that'll work. well maybe not the fork :x
i wanted to use a 27" or 700 wheel on this but well see.i think this will be put on the back burner for awhile. i got 2 or 3 other bikes waitin to be built :shock:
