this thread is a place for all fans of the futuristic, lightweight joy to behold that is the elina UL saddle/snakepost combo to gather in safety, without fear of ridicule
don't be ashamed, hold your heads up high and show those kashimax-buying sheep that you are not afraid :daumenhoch:
I'll get the ball rolling, let's see you get some pics up :smitten:

Elina UL Snakepost in incorrect era shocker! My 1991 GT before I crossed over to the dark side and put a normal seat/post on. Happy days.

You had a shakey start there James,but came thru in the end,good lad :daumenhoch:
-
< I used a couple of straight Elina seat/post combos during the time that I raced. Most racers, except for the older/heavier riders, did not use separate seats and posts.

Funny thread tho :LolLolLolLol:
Or a cry for help. ;)
There's another rad member who's famous for having a UL fetish but he hasn't posted in this thread. I wonder if he's gone straight now and feels embarrassed. :-[

Did Stevie wonder do freestyle in 80's ?
Snakebend + a UL in one
Each to their own , eh? :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:
It would be boring if we all liked the same stuff ;)
-
i have a snake post in my reflex in the for sale at the moment but alas its not a ul mines hand crafted by taiwanses virgines in deepest kung po on a full moon blind folded ,so mine isnt worthy of the ul label :uglystupid2:

Just ordered my UL SP off Fleabay for my Noob build.
Not sure why we are so special, but very glad we are! :D
-
I think they are a pile of steaming dog sick.
Wouldn't knock someone or someone's bike for having one though-they just make me queasy especially a snakepost or any layback with a brace type thing on it. :)

Nothing against them just never liked them much :daumenhoch:

no worries, I understand it's still too early for you to appreciate what is still a groundbreaking design classic ;D
but feel free to come back and visit any time :daumenhoch:
agree with you on the braced posts though.....

Yaymen!

No one got Tony Wilson, Joy Division, or The Hacienda in the early days...... :idiot2:
Like the UL SP, some things are initially only understood by those with a mildly insane artistic genius... :uglystupid2:
Eventually everyone catches on, and then the innovators and early adopters move on..... :coolsmiley:

judging by what you paid the prices are already moving back up :daumenhoch:

JESUS :shocked:

oh dear - pete's logged out in disgust ;D
pete don't do anything silly now, it's just a GT with an elina in it
-
JESUS :shocked:
:LolLolLolLol:
I aint spending 100 odd quid on a bit of plastic!! :P
-
You still angry with me Pete??? :'(
Don't look at it, just enjoy ya old crankset, brake, plate etc etc!! ;)
-
JESUS :shocked:
How did Andy get in & out without you knowing Pete ? .....................

ok so I have a small ocnfession - while sourcing bits for my superfox I got a gt layback for it, then discovered that porkchop's got repop dominator saddles for $19.99
then I thought that this would actually be rather nice to put on the haro instead, so will shortly be taking the elina out :shocked:
don't worry though, as the elina's lightweight quality will come in very handy for the superfox when I take it on the track
and mr bobafett if you read this I will not be sawing it into 3 pieces so there
(I would still like my trick name displayed please)
-
Griff you Elina Deserter ;D
-
;D I'm only swapping it round - as fond as I am of my superfox it doesn't deserve a better seat & post than the haro
just ordered the dominator from porkchop - btw found a coupon code for 10% off - just type facebook10 in the coupon code section
(I could have put that in a separate thread but thought I'd keep that between us elina lovers for now ;D )

Griff... start your own website or something.
I'm sure every possible combination of the words Elina & UL are free for your own URL.
Just copy everything Firebird Steve has done with DPfirebird.co.uk... History, adverts, old school pics of people riding them...etc...etc.
I'm sure the love for these things is as widespread and equal to DPs any day... you will be a hero...go on... off you go... :daumenhoch:
( that should keep him busy whilst I change the title of this thread to 'XL Buttplug appreciation thread' )
Only 3 pieces John... theres a chance Phil could repair that... lets up the cuts :angel:
