Title: My back hurts (midschool content)
Post by: master on July 31, 2017, 01:03:38 PM

I posted this on the ol' Instagram but some of you bastards on here may appreciate this too.

I bought my Ebco ELF new in 2003 ("ELF" = Extra Long Frame, 21.125 with a 72° ST, so 21.25 effective... Long for the time). After getting into MTB I sold it in 2005 to a local MTB guy who wanted to get into BMX. He kept it all these years, and contacted me when he wanted to get rid of it.

The bike needed a full rebuild as every bearing felt like shit, as well as a few new (old) parts. It's such a smooth and solid feeling bike but the 30lb weight makes my old man back a little unhappy. It's still worth it.  8)

(Pegs were added after the pics were taken).

Thank you gentlemen, these frames were already rare in the PNW (made in Eugene) and I couldn't imagine that too many of them made it to the rest of the country. It's a different ride for sure... Modern tech moves need not apply.
