Title: ELF Double Cross Turned Up....pics
Post by: FuNMoNsTeR on February 21, 2006, 11:18 PM

Here she is... polished within an inch of its life. A beautiful design. Its an XL and is as long as a Yacht. Serial Number is 109493. As its an XL I will most probably want to sell or trade this. I am only 5ft 8 and like short runty bikes :)
 Greg supplied me with an Elf zip back post but it needs a hefty shim to fit the frame any ideas ???
Anyway here are the pics....

Isn't the zip back a 7/8" (22.2mm) and the Doublecross a 1" (25.4mm)? You'll have to measure it :daumenhoch:

nice bike!
never seen one like that before.
how long is it?
it has a funky seat tube angle, making that top tube longer
but how long is it axle to axle?

Hi m8.... toptube is 21.5 inches and dropout to dropout is 38.5 This gives a potential whopping 40+ inch wheelbase.
It is now in for sale section if your interested :daumenhoch:
best regards,
Andy

whoa it is long!
would make a comfortable bike to ride, jump and race
but the length would make it harder to whip around (or do tricks)
its too long for my stumpy ass.
nice looking bike though.
if it had it i would saw off part of the rear dropouts and grind a slot up to that front hole  :knuppel2:
i like the shorter bikes too
if you are at bones this friday have a go on my ripper.  :)
