Wouldn’t it be best to have a Pashley that fit a stock seatpost, with good,
standard rails on the seat, so people could choose what type and quality of
seatpost they want? This way they could get a seatpost shock if they want, or a
good post with a strong tilt adjustment. At the last MUni weekend there was
quite a wide variety in preferences for different seat angles.

Unlike most unicycles, Pashley do fit a standard seatpost, it is the straight
type with the type of clamp that is removable and it is the clamp that has been
modified to fit the seat from hell. I actually hope they go for a Viscount Seat
as I think it is in keeping with an entry level Muni. I know that they have been
considering this.

I did end up replacing the tire early on mine. The way it was shaped, with a
strong center line, made me lean to one side or the other, which got real
annoying. I got a mountain bike tire with no center ridge, and the problem
want away.
