Title: elf F&F
Post by: si2 on January 12, 2009, 07:55 PM: Does this look likes it worth 40 quid??

It's an 1989 ELF..

Just wondering weather to invest and if it's a reasonable race bike for a six footer??

it'll be a 19" or 19.5 tt from memory

better for someone around 5' 8"

Proper O/S Pro size

you'd be alright on it but , would be more suited with an XL at least ;)

Looks like I might have to go to Sacramento for work next week, so if it's still about I might nab it.
Not sure if it'll go hand luggage though!

I'm tempted now....
