Title: Elina UL
Post by: Chilli Rinse on November 20, 2019, 09:56 PM
Sorry if this has been discussed in the past but here goes... I know some of you guys are not so keen on these particular seat and post combos ( no pics of bonfires and Elina sacrifices please... Griff from memory )  :LolLolLolLol: I may put one on a complete Motobecane I bought and swapping some parts on. My question is, on the underside of the saddle I’ve seen 2 different molding patterns. Very similar but different for sure.  Is one earlier than the other?? If so which is the earlier version ?? Please see pics and share your wisdom.
Thanks  fistblump

Maybe a different mould to accommodate the different posts... snake and straight. ???

Possibly, both pictures used were from eBay listings and both had the snake post though. I went for the one I bought because it just looked right.

Maybe ones an upgrade because the seats kept falling off.
Fook knows tbh... I'm just guessing.  :LolLolLolLol:

Don't worry - they should both burn equally well :teef:

 :LolLolLolLol: probably. Mine arrived today and it’s tidy and looks good on the bike but, I’m guessing that I’m right in thinking loads of them have the noses of the seat out of line with the bend in the snake post. Mine does  :knuppel2:

Nothing a bit of gentle heat won’t sort out  :daumenhoch:
