cool man

Nice bike and thanks for the info.  I think the last numbers are for the month, I just bought a f/f and the serial is xl0795142.  Now I'm looking for some parts to bring it back.  I'll put some pics up soon, gonna put together with what I have laying around now.

i just got a 89 cruiser. it doe not have cr on it . it has the rar funky forks though. i have seen very few early cruisers and not much info on the early stuff. any help ?

i got a mini serial number 393197. i think this is something different. i doubt they had made 197 of them by march back in 93. am i wrong? it does have the blue hand sticker and not the 1993 aba bike of the year sticker. can u tell me if its a 93 or 97?

ok, I was wrong, my serial number is on the back of the brake bridge. even old dogs learn new stuff sometimes. one of the other members pointed out where it is... thanks.

sounds like you got a road bike headset, if you're going to ride it and keep it for ever (why not) get a king 1 inch threaded headset, it's about 130 bucks, it will last for ever. look at the blue one on the double cross in this thread.... artwork. worth every penny, and made in USA! there are also some cheap chrome ones that will work fine, just like the old ones we used to run on the stock mongooses.

Did ELF import any of its frames, or were they all made in the U.S.?

I've got a '92 DX that I am waiting to build up now...can't wait to get her up and running..

92 DX = Double cross nice bike man, I have a few of these if any one wants one

Yea, I may be looking for a 24"DX sometime in the future...would be cool to have both..

The Elf name was bought on august of 2011 BY myself and started making parts right away the first 5 frames were aluminum 4 Pro XLs and 1 Pro  then i decided to make a Chromo frame so in 2011 there was a total of 7 frames made  1 PRo and 1 chromo the numbering system is the same.  Jan 2012 I released 20 pro XL frames in chromo and 7 cruisers.   to date there is about 30 pair of ELF T-bone cranks that have been made this is the first time that ELF has made cranks, 30 sets of the new Blast bars (modeled after the 1997 blast bar) 4 pairs of forks have been made, 1 stem to date , Just encase anyone is keeping track 

today is Feb 1 2012 and we are moving forward with more product

by the way we own the trademark ELF and we also own the domains along with Double cross and any other name that is associated with ELF. look for new designs and product this year

We are the only Company that Ken Pedergraft has ever given consent to restart ELF and we talk to Ken about Ideas all the time. I try to keep Ken the OG owner as close to be involved as we can or that he wants to be

Anyone know what size seat post the traction plate cruiser takes? I have one in mail to me and am trying to prepare.
