UL's will work on a bike with a relaxed angle on the seat tube and where you can run them low balanced with a smaller handlebar. Otherwise a big lofty bar and low seat (you can only run UL's kinda low) and a steep angle seat tube and you've got Sandy Toksvig syndrome with you being small on the bike with your shoulders bunched up, no balance to the build and looks shite. And on Japanese builds Elina yes , Uni no. US builds whack on a Uni. There's my 10p's worth of will they or won't they

I feel that way about Uni seats and whitewall tyres, they completely ruin a bike for me.

12-6 so far against

Mark my balls are already out , come and get 'em

Craig you should know better
mind you some of the colours you build

( you like having bit of an asian theme to some of them bikes

)

It's more the how they sit really forward like you've slided the seat guts right back on a seat , soooooooooooooooper shite

They must ride like having a 14 " top tube

ELINA UL.....shite.

always were.

got one on my kuwie nova as a kid and it was even shit then.

straight off and a kashi on.

anyone who has one on a bike is officially a bmx pikey and is sinbinned until proper seats are comandeered and installed...

i did put one on a robinson expert, and it looked ok, but it would cos i did it....i'm great though.

and thats that, so no moaning, just sort it.

p.s i have seen the UL on craigs torker..that looks shite as well, and i've even offered him a free decent yellow seat, cos i felt sorry for him..

there is just no helping some people though....

crazycraig · « **Reply #33 on:** July 12, 2008, 11:03 AM »

I have a NOS yellow kashi

BUT im gonna run with the UL even more so now .

PS dont feel sorry for me not with them generic padsets anyway

I dont agree with the bars Marty mate. Im tall and when i do a build i tighten the stem once the bars feel comfy to me when im sitting on the seat. This makes the bars look too forward.

If you look at old skool pics alot of us had our bars forward to the degree that if the bike had been pictured like that it would look crap.

I agree though that bars for pics do look better when in line with the angle of the forks but it dosent make a build any worse for hving them forward.

Nick, I spent most of my youth through to early twenties working in bike shops (Heff's in West Drayton and Pedal Power in Isleworth), trust me when I say most kids had their bars too far forward because they had slipped forward trying jump their clinkers and not out of choice. The amount of times we would put them right for kids on a Saturday morning only to do it again for them a week later

. If the bars are too far forward the sterring is too "quick" and prone to washing out the front wheel in corners, on the other hand it does make sit down wheelies easier

.

A good guide to how your bars should be was printed in BMX Action...

Pikey here

I must say they are not the most attractive thing on the eye - however I guess if we build a bike to spec i.e The Nova, then it came with a UL - I could go in the loft and change it to a Kashi maybe but that then ain't spec correct.

Where's Bodamus when you need him

Anyway I still love you all whether you are homosexual to the Elina UL or not

And when your bars are too far forward Nick it looks like your trying to put your bell in your mouth when riding your bike.

Elina UL's should be burnt at the stake. Add me to your list Dubber.

I agree Elina UL's are shite looking and haven't got one on any of my bikes. But will be be puting one on my White Kuwahara Nova as it's the Seat that it came with and I'm building it to spec.

I also hate Uni pro and Uni Hammerhead Seats think they look w@nk on most bikes with only a very few exceptions.
