DISCOUNT WWW.AMAZON.COM Customer Reviews: "This is a great way to turn any modern bicycle into a steampunk conveyance. I live in Raleigh, whose populace and roads are not very friendly to the bicyclist. So, one ends up spending a lot of time on sidewalks...which is generally faster than the roads but quite uneven. I have a Gary Fisher 29er with a front shock, and was still getting pounded on the erupting sections of sidewalk. After I installed this seat, I at first thought I had a flat tire. It really is comfortable out of the box. I have only ridden about 20 miles in the mid 40s, but in terms of initial comfort, it is everything it is claimed to be. One word of caution, in that installing this saddle is very, very difficult. Because it has 4 rails instead of 2, you will need one of those 'seat sandwich' doublers. Now the rub is that you need to squeeze the 4 rails and then tighten up the seat post bolt all at the same time...without scratching the chrome plating. The new 'microadjust' seats all have 7mm socket head bolts, which are not long enough for this seat. Guess what, only old Citroen cars have long 7mm bolts in them. And the plain top seat posts (chinese) dont fit the newer frames. So I used a long 1/4-28 grade 8 bolt that almost threads in to that cross drilled barrel nut that holds the microadjust seat on. You will need to run a tap through this barrel nut for it to hold. Its a lot of work, but certainly seems worth it." "I tried repeatedly to contact the seller ...
