Rebelistic Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 Does anyone know if you can buy seats from anywhere, I'm after a 'normal' looking seat to fit my 2004 T-Rex as I don't like the look of the small plastic mini seat. The only problem is that the seat post diameter is very small, about 21mm so a regular mtb seat post wont fit.Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterOfGussets Posted June 1, 2006 Report Share Posted June 1, 2006 The Koxx push-in seat looks normal-ish. I don't know what the diameter for it is. But you can get it from Cleanbikes.co.uk I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These bikes were a base bike t19 and a Giant team trial. Unfortunately I cant mesure and see what size they are cuase they are not at home sorry. mite try at work on sat and see if you can get one the size you said. Hope this helps Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like the look of the blue one though (my bike is blue).Thanks anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
