experience with these seats?

The Zephyr is pretty new. I haven't actually heard of anyone who has tried it.

I sat in the seat and could feel the aluminum frame against
my back. For me, this seat is not for touring but for fast
riding. Kinda like the Cobra seat is to Easy Racer bikes,
except not as comfortable as the Cobra. YMMV.

I also have sat in this seat (on a Barcroft, so it was laid
way back). I could also feel the seat frame against my
shoulder blades. I'm 6'1" with a long torso. I would like to
try riding on it but I suspect that feeling the frame
against the shoulder blades would get old fast. However, I
found the seat bottom to be more comfortable than the
standard RANS seat.
