Top marks for Top Sellerie seat

[mecki]

Having just come back from my first major tour to the South of France with my new Top Sellerie seat http://www.topsellerie.com/ I can give it top marks for comfort.
Being flatter and wider than the stock seat there was hardly any discomfort even after a 9 hr 600 mile ride.
It was definitely £180 well spent and I can recommend them wholeheartedly. 
And it looks a lot better than the rather dull seat Mr K put on.

thats great to hear as im thinking about getting one, any chance of a bit more info as they seem to do a few different styles and different levels, what exactly did you order ?

any pics

thanks

[Bryn]

Really pleased with mine too.

Was it lowered at all ?

Im quite short in the leg and am almost on tippytoe on the standard seat. What was the delivery time ?

[viper]

Really pleased with mine too. 

what did you order bryn. as my question to mecki ?

[mecki]

I ordered one of their Specials and think it is a Type 1 deluxe seat.
At the moment they are selling them for €158 (plus postage) which is a real bargain.
It is slightly lower than the stock seat.
Delivery was only a couple of days.

I posted a picture on another thread after I got it last autumn and it looks just like Bryn's.

Got mine pre -loved off here. so not sure of the model, but if it looks just the same as Mecki's it probably is ....

I'm 5.9" tall with an inside leg under 30" and don't find the seat height an issue, and it doesn't seem much different from the standard one, so I'm sure it hasn't been lowered

thanks guys for the help, ive just ordered the deluxe type 1 seat which is on offer at E186 euros plus 24e postage. As its an instock seat it comes with already built colours which is ok for me. If they dont recieve your old seat back within 45 days they debit your card with an additional 78e, which sounds fairy nuf . I may not send mine back as if i take out the postage costs i will incur im gonna get more than that on ebay. Id never sell my original seat but i do have about 3 old seats ive been buying up over the last 3 years that ive been modifing with heated pads ect.

will post up when it comes

Hi Viper, what did you do regarding the heated pads, do you have any info / pics.
I don't really need one, but know someone who does!

Cheers,

I put a detailed thread on another forum of the installation and the pads I used , so check this link . pictures of the installation on page 4 and then a link further into the thread, Im still using the seat , its amazing in terms of heat , actually keeps you lower body warm as ell, but the seats comfort is not right for me in the summer when abroad, so with the top sellrie seat ive now got a winter and summer seat

got my seat today , feels firmer and slightly thicker than stock, wider as flater as  well.

this will be my fourth seat on this bike so if it gets the viper thumbs up then it must be good 

cant report back for a few weeks as the bike is off the road at the moment

I purchased Nige's Top Sellerie seat and yes it is firmer, wider and thicker than rock and boy what a difference, excellent comfort all round, best purchase for my bike so far.

well, after a six hour ride on this new seat i can confirm thats its very good. Its the 4th custom seat ive had on this bike so it suits my fussy arse. Id still use my Airhawk seat on the longhaul stuff , ie the 12 hour ride i did to prague

my old seat that they wanted back , i sold seperately on ebay for £140 and they have just charged me about £65 for failing to return my stock so the maths

seat and postage was approx £190
failed stock seat return was    £65

stock seat on ebay                £140
ebay charges ,paypal           £14

total cost of new seat was          £129

Well, as I've just caught up and read this thread Viper has just convinced me to get one, I have just ordered one, meant to do it before but other things put it out of my mind.

I paid for the base straight, so no need to worry about an extra charge, cost for seat, base and including shipping = 268 euro, won't know my credit card exchange rate for a few days yet.

Will post again when it arrives, would love it to be here for Sunday as there's a big Charity run on here, for Children's Hospice which I would like to attend, but we'll see.
