Title: Does anyone know their ELF's? (Photos added)
Post by: MINI_BURNER on September 26, 2008, 03:52 PM

Hi All, I've been offered a 1986 ELF 24" cruiser which is in most probably 8 out of 10 survivor condition, so the question is how much is it worth?  I know it's worth as much as someone is willing to pay, but there is always a ballpark figure!!   So what do you reckon guys?  £200, £300, £400 etc etc

It's hard to say as all I've seen are some poor quality pics,  it looks like middle of the road 80's parts!!!!

If good condition and average parts I'd say between £250 and £300  :daumenhoch:

I had a look at it last night and I would say that it's about a 7 out of 10, a little bit of spotting on the chrome and scrapes on the stickers but hey.............it is 22 years old!!!

Guess what................I bought it!!!

What do you think of the bars;  mid, new or old school?  Do they suit the bike or should I look for some proper cruiser bars?
