What sort of price would a Elina Lightening bolt seat be, found this one on the gay bay does it look right as the writing looks a bit funny unless its the angle of the pic.

I have a near mint red kashi aero with the original writing on, would it be a fair trade $:-\$ if i was to offer it as a like for like swap or would there be a top up of cash one way or another

what do peeps think cheers steve

Angle of the pic I reckon, looks pretty spot on to me. £55 to £65 is about the right price for one of those

Sent you a pm regards a swap on the seat

According to martin's 1981

Late 1980 the first ones came out but without the Lightning Bolts so 1981's probably right for the Lightning Bolts.

I maybe thick, but I am going to ask anyway...

is there a connection with the lightening bolts on these seats and zap pads etc?

They sold both types for a long time; I'm after a plain blue Elina seat with no lightning bolt if anyone has a spare

Dont forget there are quite a few fake black Elinas knocked out by the Japs too.... often sold with grips at the same time on the bay. Sent mine back it was blatantly poorly finished.

Are the ET ones still to be found? £20 - £25 delivered for a while but did the price of them suddenly shoot up?
