Hi - can only tell me more about this seat (came with my new bike):

There are few more pics here:

Is it supposed to be a one-piece; there is no means to tighten it or remover it from the seat post.
Anyway, its annoying because it is not stuck properly so it can turn left/right. Feckin annoying!!
I will be selling it as I want a black seat. What would be a nice 1985 freestyle seat to go for? This is the bike:

sounds like it is fooked to me mate they are bonded in the factory even if you try to repair it will probably only work loose again,better off investing in a new seat :daumenhoch:
-
griff will take it off you hands fella, he can add it to his alter of Elina
-
Burn it... >:D
-
or drill through seat and post then stick bolt through it ::)
-
Burn it... >:D
Is it a shite seat? I assumed it was a good one just because the seller seemed to be a realy purist.. He reads RadBMX so maybe he will jump in and give comment even if it is: "yeah, burn it. I only put it on the bike to sell the mofo.."
ta,

you can re rivit them go up in size abit wih the rivit ,4 or 5mm, two underneath, and use some araldite or simmilar to restick it before you finish the rivits, should hold it for a bit ,,
tbh i have to agree with Betty though >:D >:D :daumenhoch:

Well, I am already planning to sell it as I want a black seat. So, it is a shite seat then.. Hey ho..
Any thoughts on a nice black 85-esque freestyler seat and post?

Only pulling yer leg dude... ;)
You'll suss soon enough they're not everyones cup of tea
Bout as welcome as a fart in a space suit comes to mind... ;D

Generallee used to sell NOS ones on here for £10 posted so a faulty one can't be worth much. Dispose of it or have the burden of someone castrating themself on your conscience forever. :'(
-
They were all over ebay a year or two ago, for about £17, NOS, so not gonna have much value, I had a straight fibre glass post one on my DP for a bit, as I had one BITD, I don't know why they are considered as crap now, they didn't used to be.
I know that they aren't everyones favourite, but I have never been a hater!!
A nice BMX aero, (ariake or Jaguar) would look sweet, and I always prefer them to a Kashi for a freestyler, look a bit more substantial.

As Palpatine said 'wipe them out... all of them' ugh.
Wheres Supergriff... Lycra clad defender of the Elina UL :smitten:
-
Burn it... >:D
Exactly ;D
-
I love the look of the UL but have never ridden a bike with one for fear of it coming d'état hen and getting a pole up my rectum :LolLolLolLol:
Griff must be off the web as he hasn't commented yet :daumenhoch:
-
no coment from griff yet perhaps hes finally realised and is hideing under a big rock in shame ,curse of the elina seat lover waaaoooooooo and turns into a normal person on a full moon >:D
-
Here goes then...... Forget how lethal they could be, I still like the no nonsense shape of the seat!! ::)
On a serious note....... How come the Uni combos aren't in the hated group?? Better built? ???
-
