Miyata Shopping

Like usual, Bedford. He only cares the green ones though, if that
matters.

Who says unicycle.com UK won't post to the US, have you asked them?

They've posted stuff to the US in the past.

(oops I meant to add)

You could try ordering from 'Japan' (http://www.mys-co.com/) they have
seats in 'Gray' (http://tinyurl.com/cbnb3) as well as Green

On their website with the shipping costs it says that you have to get a
carriage service for it to get sent to the US, so they won't mail it to
you directly, and a carriage service is going to cost far too much for
me, I guess I could call and maybe beg a little bit.

On their 'website' (http://tinyurl.com/7qnhj) they cost 40 pounds which
is about $70 (coz the way the exchange rate is at moment)

But if you click on the "calculate shipping for this product" link and
select country United States it gives you a "contact us" link and I
guess if you ask them they will email you back with the shipping price

I would think that the phone call alone would be a lot and the shipping
cost with the phone call and the saddle would cost a little bit more
than one hundred which definitely isn't worth it, I'm suprised that UDC
USA doesn't get more because it seems to be very much in demand.

If you are referring to Bedford, you just email him with the order.
He'll give you the cost in USD and send you his mailing address so that
you can send a cheque to him. The email address is on the first page of
his site.

It sounds way to involved and time consuming, I think I'll probably just
get a Kh, unless somebody knows a different site.

What? All you have to do is place an order by email, then send him a
cheque and wait.

It may take a bit of time to get the cheque to him, have it cleared, and
have the saddle sent to you, but i wouldn't think that it would take
much more than 2 weeks. I usually get my stuff in a week, but we're
only 4 hours away, and he knows me, so he doesn't have to wait for the
cheque to clear before sending my stuff.

I send him an email with what i want, he tells me the price, i send him
a cheque. A week later, i get what i asked for.

the Torker LX seat is the same as a Miyata with a couple improvments and
comes in black.

if you have a shop in town that sells Torkers, they can get them too and
most likely for cheaper than $40+shipping.

Wow. In the old days (before places like Unicycle.com), we had to just
wait. You couldn't get stuff. Period! Six months or more to wait for
Miyata to ship their next batch of unicycles & parts! No KH! No mountain
or Trials unicycles!

The above conversation kind of reminds me of those Carls Jr.
commercials: "Without us, some guys would starve."

If not familiar with the Carls Jr. hamburger chain, it's Hardees on the
East coast. Go here and scroll down to the fourth ad, dragging it over
to the big screen:

It's the one called Cereal.

Well, I guess I have been somewhat spoiled but sine many people had said
the Torker LX seat was fine, why wait, I am not somebody who is
impatient, I'm somebody who is progressive and impatient, I wanted to
get on my new uni as soon as possible!

either.
