Hi Mike,
Just realized I haven't posted any pics of the bike with the seat on
(yet). Which seat are you referring to? You don't by chance mean the
seat on the current "Loop of the Month" (Bill Snyder's)? Cheers,

Hi Mike,

The seat was rebuilt of parts from two different seats and covered with
one of the nice German-made repro covers bought off eBay. The base is
from the '69's original seat, the foam from one off eBay. Think the seat

off eBay may have been from a late Eldo - they're a bit differently
shaped (more pronounced ridge between rider and passenger sections and
maybe a bit flatter also). In any case it's quite firm, but comfy. On
the MD/DC Spring Ride today, I didn't get the usual 150 mile numbbutt.
Towards the end of our 200 mile route, I only felt a bit "burn"
starting. The trip to the National will be the test though. Cheers,

 Charley, where did you get Sophia's seat? I've seen
seats like that before, but this is the first time I
really like the look. For some reason it looks good on
her.
