Post by: Sanmarcopizza on February 21, 2006, 06:06 PM: Looking good. Didn't you get a funky SX seatpost as well ? I see it's got a drilled brake bridge, you could whack a calliper brake, or pitbull on and fulfill the OS regs.

Post by: motomagII on February 21, 2006, 06:10 PM: ive got a canti and pozi stop on its way maybe fri this week .the seatpost went to someone on here as they asked and i do like my elina uls so i helped another member to get a part he really wanted .it rides pretty good quite light too race track maybe bit much for me but if you dont try you dont get hey sandro
i only got it for that meet fancied going round a track again after 21 years .trie the skateparks again and really enjoy so i hope the meet goes ahead .
built it quite cheaply as only probably ride it that once so didnt go mad but still looks the dogs danglies to me

Post by: Moose on February 21, 2006, 06:53 PM: I'd say it's early 90's, not too sure but Bill Ryan said mine was a '96 and it has a 1 1/8th fork. This photo was said to have been taken in 1990 of a bike with what appears to be a frame very similar to yours.

If I remember rightly the seatpost you got with that was an Elf 'zip-back'?

Post by: motomagII on February 21, 2006, 06:55 PM: that was the post mate funmonster wanted it for his elf so i let him have it .its nice ride moose whats yours ride like ?
Title: Re: supercross sx pro
Post by: Moose on February 21, 2006, 07:03 PM: I like the way it rides, it feels quite short which is good for me as I'm a little shorty. The front feels a little twitchy at times, but that's more likely down to me being a shit rider and it only having a 1.75 front tyre ;D
