Hi, I am Flavio from Brazil. I am framming a unicycle, because isnt common here. I dont fond at anyone store. Already done the pedals and the axis. Myself did. But I have a trouble with saddle. Because I dont had a poit to start. I saw at http://www.unicyclejester.com/airsaddle.htm how I can do. But we dont have myata seat base, myata bumper and GB4 stiffene plate here.
I would like to see if someone know the measures, do I make the saddle. Or if u know some way to make the saddles without this parts; See u!! Flavio M. Candeias [email hidden]
You can make your own seat base from metal plate or sheet metal. You don't need to start with a Miyata seat base. It would be helpful to have a Miyata seat base or similar seat base to copy the general shape, but that's not completely necessary.
Here's an example of a seat made from scratch with a custom made metal seat base. The seat base is made from aluminum plate. 'Creative Gecko custom saddle' (http://www.creativegeckos.com/pages/accessories.htm) (scroll down to the bottom of the page). Cut the metal plate in the shape of a saddle, bend it to give it some curve, put some padding on it, put a seat cover on it, make some sort of handle, make some sort of rear bumper, and you've got a saddle.
