Powers77 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Has anyone had any experience with this brand of seat. Looks very interesting but I'd like some first hand feedback before plucking down the $. Link to comment

Powers77 Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 Thanks. Guess that space I used between Kon and Tour did not do much for my initial search. DOH! More confused after reading. Some picks some pans. Owner attitude making me think of other options as I frankly don't have time for the drama. If I'm going to spend that type of cash, I don't want to have to fight some pin head if its not right out of the gate. Link to comment
randys Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 spend your money on a Russell and be done with it. Wish I had done that before going round with Kontour. Maybe now Russell has access to the same covering material that lets the seat breathe. Link to comment
GordonB Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 You could take a day and ride to Ohai CA and do a ride-in appt with Bill Mayer Saddles , some great riding in the area too. You could ride over on a Friday with a Saturday appt., and be on your way Sat. by 1 pm. Link to comment
Selden Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Maybe now Russell has access to the same covering material that lets the seat breathe. Surely Kontour can't have a patent on that fabric, and you would think that other custom seat makers would pick up on it. But as of today, neither Bill Mayer nor Russell's web site mention it.

Powers77 Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 Normally I'd agree but I have one complicating factor not mentioned above. New bike is a GSA and I'm on tip toes already. Afraid the Russell would put me over the edge. Anyone know it this could be worked around? Link to comment
bobbybob Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Russell now has a "sport seat" but its buried in their website. here's a link--->>> http://www.day-long.com/new_pages/SportSeats.html Don't know why they don't fix that..... Link to comment
Powers77 Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 Thanks Bob. May have to give this a closer look. Link to comment
ElevenFifty Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Check the classifieds ... there is a set of Sargent saddles for 350 in TX ... I have over 60K on my sargents and love them! Link to comment
