Seaat problems
Jul 18^th, 2008, 2:26pm

I am using a seat made by Andrew Carson of<recycledrecumbent.com> on my clone and the bottom of the material is tearing on the right hand side of the seat. i am going to repair it for the time being and see what happens.
I was looking at Power On Cycling web page and they have a fiberglass seat for $165.00 + shipping.
I was wondering if anyone has tried one of their seas?

I can make you a lot better deal on the frp (fiberglass reinforced plastic) seat I have, but I'm not sure that style seat is going to work on your bike. That style seat has to be pretty reclined, or you have a problem feeling like you're sliding off the front. If you have the standard TE clone, a mesh seat is probably going to work better.

Thanks for the reply. It is definitely as close to a T.E. Clone as I could build. I think the main problem with the seat is my 195 to 200 lbs.. I don,t need to be slipping off the seat any more than I already do.
I use the clone around town to pick groceries and other supplies.
I will be going to Paris to the Tour de Paris tomorrow morning early. I hope to see some different bents up there this year. I will be on my Giro 20.

That's what I put on the RANS Nimbus that Terry (MrOverdressed) now has. The seat clamp fits a one inch frame, these seats are pretty sturdy, and can often be found on ebay for a pretty reasonable price.
