this thread is a place for all fans of the futuristic, lightweight joy to behold that is the elina UL saddle/snakepost combo to gather in safety, without fear of ridicule

don't be ashamed, hold your heads up high and show those kashimax-buying sheep that you are not afraid

I'll get the ball rolling, let's see you get some pics up

Well i just bought this off of ebay for £19 - nice and sweet, just needs a little clean - clean shinny rails and guts ready to polish

A price that seat should be at

PEREGRINE

Elina UL Snakepost in incorrect era shocker! My 1991 GT before I crossed over to the dark side and put a normal seat/post on. Happy days.

You had a shakey start there James,but came thru in the end,good lad

< I used a couple of straight Elina seat/post combos during the time that I raced. Most racers, except for the older/heavier riders, did not use separate seats and posts.

Or a cry for help.

There's another rad member who's famous for having a UL fetish but he hasn't posted in this thread. I wonder if he's gone straight now and feels embarrassed.
