! American Extra-Long-Front ? .. im Album #l Early Days Aluminum & Steel Homage (Race ATB, DH Klunking wide bar n big wheels research)🔧🔗
ELF and extra short cockpit ?,
measures will be taken for experimentation!
It was never really made clear by their ad's if ABM at all actually meant the ELF slogan for characterizing long front as in => front suspension in fact....
..however judging by 1994 and a private chat with an ex ABM employee its become clear that what they were going for with the ELF were in fact longer toptubes for shorters stems.
So practically these frames were not really or just very slightly suspension corrected (as per graphic shown). A jacked up head tube angle would in turn rather be compensated by a short stem, compensating on the other end of the spectrum for the extra long toptube.
The geometry is not specifically suited for much axle to crown front suspension measurement but it can be made to work within limits..
So its ideal for a 405mm corrected rigid fork or maybe 410 max. depending on tire choice..
