Post by: dialledbikes on June 01, 2008, 08:32 PM: Probably right Phil. I'm trying to help the guy at Uni find a UK distributor at the moment.

I'm liking this as my next saddle.

Post by: Gary72 on June 02, 2008, 06:18 PM: Sorry Mike had abit of a senior moment the seats I was thinking about are ECLAT, branch of wethepeople, even do a moulded 1 piece seat aswell.
No idea on prices or stockists but probably any wethepeople dealer should be able to get them.

Bike is stripped down for painting, only managed to primer it Saturday morning, was going to build it and then strip it again but thought fook it, I'll stay in and do some DIY. Then Sunday morning i thought fook it again and went rOm.
Pulled off a couple of new tricks for me PEG STALLS and TYRE TAPS, very happy man ;D

Post by: dialledbikes on June 02, 2008, 06:29 PM: Cheers Gary. Some of those seats look quite nice (very similar concept to the Tioga Spyder saddle) and different colours too.

Post by: Flying_fox on June 04, 2008, 05:37 PM: I'm sure Owen 'Son of Big Daddy' Baxter has a new uni on his race bike.

Not so sure about them myslef, I did have a turbo in the the early 80's, then I went on to a Skyway hot seat, that's probably why I run a oddy jnr. now.
