  1. Hi -

    My BikeE seat is wearing rather thin (ordinary AT, not sweetseat). Can anyone suggest where I can
    buy some material that I can re-cover the seat with?

    I plan to staple it over the existing seat padding. It looks something like what cycle shorts are
    made of. I'd like to order on the web, preferably from Europe, if anyone can recommend a place.

    Thanks, SteveC (Norway) BikeE AT, Trice classic & micro

  2. www.poweroncycling.com Mark makes seat covers for Rans seats I'm sure he can come up with a Bike-E
    cover. They have elastic sewn in and look like O.E. cover. Ben Fox "Steve Collier"

  3. What if I have a hardshell (eurostyle) seat? I'd need to get a thin, almost comfortable and possibly
    breathable layer of some stuff. Anything cheap and easy to get I could try first?

    Fabric or foam? Get some black filterfoam from here: zephyr.nlenter.html under
    zittingen en kuessens. Cost me 25 euro with postage.

    Waterproof, opencell, light and compresses so you dont bounce yet it supports you and is comfy. Just
    dont ride without a shirt. Or you could try astroturf like Reynolds uses. (thats fake grass)

    Here is a link page for Quilting in Norway, hopefully with links to fabric sources
    home.online.noquiltlinks.htm I can't read Norwegian(not even close) so I may be
    mistaken. You will be looking for Lycra or Spandex, or whatever the Norwegian word is for that! It
    is also used for swimsuits.

    good luck, rorschandt
