Just wondering if they are nylon and if they will dye (the seat, not the padded bit) $:-\$

the seat may dye, but the top padded part may soak up the colour but in a washed out way and not fully

got pic ?

cheers B

Cheers Bendy.

Its a faded orange one on the bay. The paded bit is knackered and i would replace it but just anxious as i know plastic doesnt dye does it.

da ja vu - haven't we spoke about this before

some seats do dye well - some don't

it's the nylon used in the seat along witha mixture of plastic - some have more (kashi) and some have none (sella aeroyals)

i know you want one but it will turn up soon

yeah we have been here before, of sorts. Last time it was a trick top copy, the seat was fine but the white padding was yellowed. This one is much worse all round but a real trick top

Bloody kids bikes eh, who'd have em
