Windcheetah SportCompact ?

Hi,

I was just reading some old Velovision back issues and read in the June 2008 a review of a pre-production SportCompact (20/16 wheels). Does anyone know if any made it off the production line as Google reveals nothing, and the AVD website is stuck in a 2009 timewarp :-)

TIA, Simon

Pretty sure it did - ISTR hearing from someone in Japan with one.

Also, this may be of interest :-)

Hi Pete,

> Also, this may be of interest :-)

Yes: I saw the ad, but it looked a little unexpected, eg that it was 406 all-round. And of course I wondered how the price compared with new !!

I'm pretty sure it didn't make it into production. The prototype was sold by Bob Dixon on eBay as an aborted project.

I'm happy to inform you that the compact is still very alive and in current production, most of which go to the States and
Australia.

There is a thread over on Bent rider on line covering the same topic

If you have any further question please contact me


Kind regards
Karl

Great to know that AVD is still alive and kicking, Karl. Lots of folks on BentRider seem to think otherwise.

Yes, there's been a deafening silence about Windcheetahs, to the extent that most people think they're no longer made. It might be an idea to update the website?

The website is been done as I type, looking to do a relaunch shortly, Peter (Eland) and I were discussing articles for the magazine.

If you have any further questions please contact me.

Kind regards
