You can get the viscount seat from either Butterfingers in Bristol or DM, Dave
sells his with a seatpost, Butterfingers without but do sell seatposts including
extra long ones. No difference in cost I think. There is also rather a good
rumour going about that there is a shop in York about to stock Miyata seats in
the near future. I will keep people posted. If you are into upgrading your
Miyata seats, carbon fibre bases will be available in the next couple of weeks
from Hansell Composites.

Cheers

I recently got a viscount seat from DM and when I went to his workshop he had a
choice of red, yellow or black. He also says he’s coming to the BMW (15/16 May)
so he may be persuaded to bring some along.
