Euromesh II seat, Ventisit pad, Brain Box
May 30^th, 2010, 11:29am

Just bought the Euromesh and Ventist pad and decided I don't like them. I find the Recurve seat much more comfortable - even if I have trouble reaching the ground at stops.

Euromesh and Ventist have less than a half dozen rides on them ~ 200 miles or so.
Seat is the Euromesh II, with the "clipped" front edges for better leg clearance.
Pad is factory built for the Euromesh seat and is "standard" thickness.
Asking price:
Seat - $200
Pad - $75
get both - $250

Brain Bag ($30) is "well worn". I just put a small hole (less than the size of a dime) in the mesh pocket on the outside when I had my seat reclined too much and it rubbed on the rear tire. Willing to trade for a Big Bag if anyone is interested.

Anyone have a pad hanging around that I can try out? I don't want to drop another $40 for a new one on this experiment.

Broke down and ordered the standard Bacchetta pad - a lot better than the Ventist I had. However, I still prefer the Recurve. I guess I'm just a little out of the ordinary (of course we all knew that).

So I have a Euromesh seat that is practically new hanging around in my garage that I wouldn't mind getting rid of for roughly what I paid.

Euromesh Seat w/ standard pad - $215
Brain Box described above $30

I would prefer the Big Bag since it will fit the Recurve seat but in the mean time I'm going to keep using the Brain Box until I sell the Euromesh to fund new bike gear purchases.

Let me know if you are interested.

Thanks,
Tony

I could let this one go very cheap or trade for some other bike stuff (possibly tires?) if anyone is interested and needs the bag. If not - I'll hold onto it - never know when I might need it for something.
