Miyata suspension seatposts and rail seats

General

Just had a look at the Japanese MYS-co website and found some interesting stuff. There is a Miyata seat that comes equipped with bicycle seat-type rails. As well there is a reinforced seatpost (to stop bending): http://www.mys-co.com/newSite/shopping/cgi-bin/shop.cgi?lang=eng&mode=viewDetail&category=seats

Also there are two suspension seatposts - one of which I saw at UNICON XI. The other curiously provides suspension for “Miyata flamingo sleaze”. :smiley: I wonder what this means? http://www.mys-co.com/newSite/shopping/cgi-bin/shop.cgi?lang=eng then click on “Seatposts” on the menu on the left.

Does anyone own any of these new toys? What are they like?

Re: Miyata suspension seatposts and rail seats

I like the “flamingo” one. It looks like a simple and elegant solution. Not much movement to it and I’d still use my legs to smooth out the bumps, but it’s still a nice looking piece of kit.

Have fun!
