SEAT IS SOLD

Here's your chance for a great seat with no waiting time. I purchased this very lightly used seat from a forum member and I'm afraid it's not going to work for me. He 210 lbs with a 30 inch inseam and I'm about the same weight but with a 32 inch inseam. I would like to get $450 shipped in the CONUS which is what I paid for it. Paypal gift or USPS Money order

What was the inseam issue? It sat you too forward?
Sat me too far forward for comfort. As long as a sat in the pocket the seat is great but then other ergonomics were not as comfortable

How does it compare to the stock seat? Taller, shorter, etc. ?
It is somewhat taller. But if you slide forward at a stop it is so narrow that it does not effect touching the ground. For comparison it is not as tall as my seat concepts seat.

Good to know. I'll keep my eyes out for a seat concepts seat (hijack over). Best of luck with the sale.

Interested. Can you post side view pictures of the seat on the bike in both high and low positions?

Re: Russell Day Long Solo Seat

How is the weight a factor (or not) ? Are the seats set up for specific weight ranges?

You give them you weight when you order it. I would say that as long as you are close in weight it should be fine. If you are over 250 lbs they put heavy duty springs in the seat.

That's what I figured, at 5'7" with a 30" inseam I've been having the opposite problem with aftermarket seats. Good to know that Russell can build to size, I think I will have them do a Sports seat for me.
