_Owen. Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 (edited) Many many thanks to richard (harshrider) for being a good honest trader, helping me out with all my questions, and posting when he said with correct item discriptions. Would deffinately trade with him again and reccomend him as a seller! Thanks alot mate! Anyway, my zoot has had a bit of a change, new front wheel, rear rim, and mainly, the new frame! Not ridden it much at all yet, as i have only just finished building it, but it feels really nice, bunny and manualtastic!! No front brake until tomorrow night, when i get a vee (of course!) Anyway, enough of the sh*t! Sorry about the phone pics, ill get better ones asap! Comments welcome! OwenEdit: Just managed to think of a way of putting a saddle on. And really am unsure which one i prefur. So which one do you like better? Mini seat, or propper seat? Again, comments welcome. Help me decide! Owen Edited July 25, 2008 by _Owen.

The Duck Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Unusually for me - Mini seat looks nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Get something small and skinny on there. Fat arse bmx seat makes it look stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_ Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Yea, ultra slim bmx seat, like an ECCD or somthing, also Id say slide it back on the rails abit Looks good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Nice skinny seat will do it!How did fit one on anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clownbike Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Mate, that is lush for a start!In regards to the seat - keep the saddle! From an older rider's perspective it looks much nicer and more comfortable! As its on there i'd leave it, as it won't make any difference to how you/it rides.Good luck!Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitemybutt Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Very nice.Don't have a seat on there though. It looks better with a mini seat on, plus a bulky saddle WILL affect your riding and get in the way etc. Don't follow the trend just because it's deemed fashionable by people who seem to think every bike thats meant for street needs a seat.

steve@banbury-trials Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 i reckon my saddle would look smart on there (funn saddle),just a idea young owen.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A saddle makes spins a hell of a lot easier IMO as there is something to bang against. Tucks, gaps etc would hardly be affected. I'd love to have a seat back, but as i'm not as streety as i once was, so there is no point. But that is a street beast, so i'd keep it that way!I'd say its unfashionable to have a seat!!! NeilEDIT: Also how many times have you been out riding and thought..."Phewww i could do with a sit down", or thought "I wish i could sit down and pedal!" With this saddle you can do it!

NeilEDIT: Also how many times have you been out riding and thought..."Phewww i could do with a sit down", or thought "I wish i could sit down and pedal!" With this saddle you can do it!This is the way i was thinking! I will NEVER do big amounts of tuck on it, as its no tgs bike! As for getting in the way, ill ride it some more, and get back to you, i cant really see it affecting my riding in the slightest! And the saddle isnt very comfy, get piles if you sit down for too long on it Yeah i have thought about a thin saddle on there. Ill see what moneys like, but for the moment, that ones staying on there. Yeah Steve, thats why i was asking about your saddle today, and trying to imagine it on my bike! Cheers for all comments, good and bad More would be much appreciated! Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
