    Mate of mine asked me to put this up for sale. he just bought a Dodge DayVan for a euro trip experience and now he is a bit strapped for cash.

    At the moment he is taking offers, so pm me if you are interested. he is based west of london.

    He built it up a few months ago and never got to use it. Some parts are new, some old. But very nice!

    Spec from what i remember:
    Frame and Fork: Raleigh Volant, 56cm (i think)
    Wheels: Formula sealed bearing hubs, DT black spokes twisted lacing, Velocity deep v black.
    Saddle: Brooks B-17 black

    Here's a picture.

    Q1: Regarding saddles, which of the following do you consider the most important? (please choose one)

    • Aesthetics
      - Comfort/ergonomics
    • Aerodynamics
    • Lightness (in terms of weight)
    • Strength/durability
    • Ease of use

    Q2: Again regarding saddles, please choose 2:
    - Strong
    - Cheap

    • Light

    Q3: Please mark on the following scales how important you feel the saddle/seatpost attributes are in comparison to each other (mark '5' if you think they are equally important.
    Mechanical/visual simplicity 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 Adjustability
    Strength/durability 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 Lightness (in terms of weight)
    Aesthetics 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 Sustainability/environmental issues
    Traditional 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 Modern
    **Comfort **1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 Aerodynamics/streamlining

    Q4: Finally, is anyone else scared shitless of these?
