Alan's ELF Build

Been thinking about building up a 20" for a while now - the footage from the Frogtown old school track definately inspired me - I was looking for something a bit left-field, when this ELF came up on Ebay.... Not a Double Cross but it has a 19.5" toptube and the double dropouts, orignal chrome and OG stickers. It's actually from 1990 and ELF isn't a brand we had much dealings with, I think probably Hot Wheels imported them in the 80's, along with a lot of other long-lost boutique brands. 

Here it is in all it's garden glory from the Ebay ad!

So then it was on to think about parts for the build. Sam Stobart of Profile Europe shared this great ELF UK team photo from right around that time:

As you can see these are Double Cross frames (with the double chainstays) and the parts look like standard 80's fare, Redline Flights, etc. This brought me to thinking about what cranks to run and when Profile changed from the Box style to the rounded arms we have today which led me to the conprehensive article on BMX Meseum:
