Velo saddle anyone?

I thought there migt be one or two people :stuck_out_tongue: out there waiting for the new KH Velo saddle. I’ve just come from the what’s new page on the unicycle.uk.com site and guess what’s there…

http://www.unicycle.uk.com/shop/shopdisplayproduct.asp?catalogid=174

What’s the equivalent of a Slashdot Effect in unicycling terms, when hundreds of people all try to order saddles at once? :slight_smile:

Phil, just me

Roger grins inanely :wink:

Ordered :smiley:

It’s for my son who has been waiting since he was the first to try the prototype in the UK. He came home from school and I had the web page up on my computer, his words “ORDER IT NOW”. He’s saved up and is paying for it himself so he should take care of it.

Cheers, Gary

Re: Velo saddle anyone?

Time between reading the above and completion of ordering process <1 minute. All the hallmarks of an impulse buy, but with the pleasure of knowing you’ve been wanting one for months:D :smiley:

Have fun!

Graeme

Re: Re: Velo saddle anyone?

Replying to my own posts, tut tut. Anyway, for anyone who saw Roger’s post to the newsgroup (rather than the forum), the price on the web site is 30 quid, not 40 as mentioned in his post. I wonder which one is the typo, or were you overcome with generosity this afternoon Roger?:slight_smile:

Have fun!

Graeme

Cool, The shop I worked at just got a sample in and there going to order more !

Re: Velo saddle anyone?

It was sort of a typo, well actually me not remembering the real price.

It was interesting how few people noticed that mail, maybe a little too
cryptic on the subject.

Your saddle will go out tomorrow Graeme, you might get it on Saturday unless
you come to Durham and I will give it to you and refund the carriage.

Cheers

Roger

Yes, and train sets for Christmas are always for the kids too… :smiley:

Phil, just me

Roger,

Is there any reason you britts get the Velo Saddle first? I’m Jelious and want one. :smiley: But shipping over the pond is a bit much for this college kids budget. I guess I’ll have to wait till The States Uni Sorce gets the Seats too. Does this mean you will be selling the KH 20" and 24" Norco cycles over in Europe too before us Yank’s as well? Thanks

Chex

Mr. Nuts, you are here by sentanced to 40 hours of public radio, to be served over the next 2 months. At least 50% of this time must be devoted to Marketplace or All Things Considered. Time spent listening to Afro-Pop World Wide will add to the sentance. If this is disagreable to you, we recommend you eat your Captan Crunch first.

And may Linda Wertheimer have mercey on your soul.

you want some real torture?..John D LaBerto…or even worse,The Satillite Sisters :astonished:

I am sorry for my above statment I retract all of it except the word Pond. I ment that and will not retract it. I will wait here contently on my viscount saddle listening to public radio untill further notice.

Once again I am sorry Roger, and to all whom I offended.

Re: Velo saddle anyone?

Chex,

Not sure why I am always steeling the march on John and Amy. Don’t panic,
it will not be long before you have your unicycles.

We will be getting the Norco as well but do not know on timing as all my
containers are full, I will try and get them shuffled and bring them in on
the first week in December. Lets see.

Cheers

Roger

Entering the Dark Tunel of Public Radio, shout:

as Mike flies through the endless rows of posts

“STAY ON TOPIC! STAY ON TOPIC!” (ZAP BZZOW ZAP) “STAY ON TOPIC” (KABOOM)

If you havent reallised it yet, that was a ‘parody’ of the “stay on target” thing from star wars…

-Mike

In honner of Mike, I drift back to topic:

The Umpa Lumpas were temporarly refusing to hall Everlasting Gobstopers, GIANT Eggs were piling up, and Chocolate bars lay melting in the noon day sun. This was all clearly reported in The Economist.

-Christopher Slugworth

well my Golden ticket better still worth somthing or else!

-Veruka Salt

Ooh, can’t wait till it comes to the US. :smiley:
