So, did anyone go and see SMB's seats at Stoneleigh?

Comparisons with Triton's?

etc.

Cheers

Good quality, but a bit 'curvy' and 'hunched over' in the back for me...

Forgot to take any pictures!

Have asked Triton to make me some...

Asked SMB to send photos twice via email (his suggestion)and never recieved anything.
He obviously does not want to sell any!

Saw the seats but won't buy from him as he's not a registered trader.

That may well be a ChrisW issue though, I've got 2 U2U's outstanding with ChrisW, one from Feb, one from April, still awaiting answers.

SMB's first post indicated he would be persuing the "registered trader" status, you've possibly incorrectly assumed something......

Still waiting for a return U2U from SMB.

When you say curvy and hunched over chrsgrain do you mean forward of upright?

Are all edges rolled? I think Tritons sides and back are but the fronts arent?

At that stage myself, rgds

The seats felt curved over forwards, sitting in them felt like you were bent over a bit too much for me...

As far as I can remember the edges are all rolled, and to be fair they are good quality. I'd say that if at all possible try and have a sit to make sure of comfort before buying...

All of Tritons seats are rolled at the front.
On the low sided one the roll is continuous around the seat. The high sided ones do not have a rolled edge at the seat side...... oh,there are pictures out there!
Hope this helps.

still awaiting reply about trader status.

seats are a personal thing, some people like different seats. I prefer my seats bolt up right (hence how you sat in them) and yet others prefer them more relaxed.

one thing i will say, and that is everyone (and i mean everyone) said how good they are made and better than anything else they had seen at show.

but unless you get to sit in a seat, you wont know, hence i was thier at stoneleigh!

(been off line sorting out new seats and cycle wings)
