New custom seat. Now before you go urrggggghhhhh, I did specifically ask for 0.5-1" higher seat, so most of what you can see is that extra, which squashes down.
Not as astheically pleasing as the original seat or a Sargent/Corbyn, but if you went for a standard build, it would be lower and look fine and dandy.
It appears very well finished.
Only ridden it for an hour, but it was definitely comfier in two areas:
- height (gives me a little more wriggle room)
- there's a hump at the front to stop you sliding forward
An hour isn't long enough to say in terms of long term comfiness, but it certainly feels more relaxing.
I'll be doing 2 * 1 hour stints tomorrow, so I can get more of an idea then.
