Is there much between them all?
There seems to be a whole raft of them for sale at prices you have to laugh at.

I'm in need of one, to take Meine Fuehrer on a ride on the bike. Whilst HTFU is sound advice (and usually well heeded), I can't steer the bike with her on the back of my Ancillotti. A standard seat pushes her slightly further back, and will hopefully cut the whining.
It seems like everything available is asian, or £180. Obviously I'm not going to be paying £180 for a seat, but also don't want anything on my bike that looks asian.
Has anyone bought one of these, and are they comfy. Or, one of these? I'm erring towards the one from the Fatherland, because it's half the price, and I can order a pull down chain tensioner at the same time, saving postage.
To my untrained eye, they look alike. Are they?

ta muchly.

I think you'll find those are both Asian jobbies. You can usually tell because the sides are flat and the whole think looks sort of boxy.

Yup. But one is twice the price of the other. Even the quoted postage is three times the price.

Yes, maybe, but both smack of Asian to me too. For the extra money, I'd go for the Electronic seat.

Personally, I don't think they look any better. And, 180 quid, into dollars, plus postage, is a LOT of money.
