Default looking for a matching Exel Avanti pole

Just broke a 2001 edition 167.5 Exel Avanti pole. The pole did not die
in dignity: I stepped on it fiddling with a stranger's fancy camera
trying to take his picture. Anyone got a similar pole for sale? Any
Exel Avanti or similar pole will do.

There's someone who sells spare individual ski poles, but I can't find
the link offhand. They guy once posted about it here. Perhaps someone
else remembers or a search on the google group site will find it.

I've got a spare shaft from an Avanti Evolution I got in 2005 -- 100%
carbon 65gms/meter if you're interested. Oval.

Not sure what's reasonable -- say $70 plus shipping?

I also have a bunch of Exel parts -- straps etc, new and used if
anyone needs anything..

Hey JT, thanks for the response. Exel's classification is confusing.
What was the top Exel pole in 2005? Avanti Evolutions?

The shaft I have is definitely not the top -- it was second or third
from top. I think it was second but am not certain -- also confused.

Sorry to not have more info. I got it from New Moon Ski shop for an
outrageous price (I think it was about $100) n a similar situation to
yours . But I swithced to Swix before I built it up.

I think New Moon might have single shafts still so you maybe can check
with them.

JT - I emailed N Moon to see if they have older "top" shafts.
