Seatpans instead of seats?

[XC204]

made this one out of 1/8" aluminum an old briefcase and some motorcycle seat springs with a steel strap frame work. It rides really nice I've ridden it 15 mi and it was the knees that complained not my rear. Has about 1/2" padding laced between two slabs of leather. Pan style would look good on that bike imo.

I hand painted the Flying Tiger teeth on my seat pan for Flexy in RRBBO7. I figured it would just be for show and I would swap it for a comfy seat, but it has actually been very comfortable due to the shape and springs. The clear coat has held up well too.

Some nice seats on here, getting some great ideas...

Well,actually a friend of mine rides this awesome blue Jakz Lowass (can't help the name,that's what its name is) and it wouldn't look half as good with a normal bikeseat.

^^^ Nice frame design! Going to have to keep that in mind if I ever get a tube roller...

Only just noticed your chainwheel! :shock: How many teeth on that bad boy, 60+teeth? Must be a rocket once you get it going!

It's a 65 tooth chainring from a Schwinn Exerciser. I used one on my build-off bike last year.

Ah cool! so, just over 2:1 on your ratio, nice cruising ratio...
