Beautiful looking uni! It will be very interesting to read the report of the first ride.

However, There is something I don’t understand about the design: My lower region hurts just looking at that seat. Why the thin racing b*ke seat instead of a KH or Nimbus? How does one relieve seat induced pain? I would imagine that you can’t push yourself up and off the seat using the handlebars like a bike rider can. If you stand up on the pedals - as you would on a regular uni, I think you would have to take your hands off the handlebars and ride with the seat post completely vertical. This would make the center of gravity too far forward (because of the handle bars).

What am I missing?? (I am fully capable of admitting that the missing elements may be my own riding talent and physical condition)

On the subject of using a bike seat plenty of discussion (and some scary looking setups) in this thread

Oh and turtle, beautiful looking setup. I really like the colour.
