Hi guys, Im from Spain, so please forgive my english. im new it this forum, But i love all your proyects and bikes. This is my electric chopper, it has the typicall new chopper stingray seat.
I dont want to spend money in it, so im going to use what i´ve got. I know for shure that i´m not keeping the same seat
option 1, add a banana seat... but that would mean, welding, making wholes in the frame and ditching the rear fender because my sisi-bar doesnt fit correctly, and my seat is a 80´s euro type banana seat. very square. Not the beautiful schwinn stingray seat
Something like this but with square-ish seat and a chrome sisy-bar
Option 2 weld the bike mount and add a regular seat, a thick MTB seat i guess. Maybe i could upholster it with some brown leather and add some small springs (just for the looks)
Option 3 My favourite option, but the most wacky...
I ripped of the cover of my stock seat, its really thick, so i cut almost all the foam off and made it really thin, cut off about 5cm from the rear end to make it lower. And wrapped it in blue jean denim,
Got the idea of recycling the stock seat came from this add, he has the same seat as me, but he made it thinner and re-upholsterd it: http://www.milanuncios.com/bicicletas/b ... 426026.htm NOW Mine is a bit thinner than his and wrapped in denim...
What do you think is the best option??
