    I've been lagging behind on updating my 15 year old mesh seat and after having it fly off of the truck at 40mph, I'm finally caving in.

    I'm looking for a new/slightly used mesh seat and/or frame for Vision R64 Sabre. Also can be the Volae seat mesh for the older style Visions.

    HostelShoppe has it for over $100 which is over my budget as she just got a component upgrade for $500.

    Thanx - Bent-Jake

    First off, :welcome6: Jake! Second, take a look at this thread entitled: Penninger Traveler Seat. While it's not for a Vision, it might give you some ideas if you can't source a seat for your bike.

    "Spacer Mesh" for seats...source

    If you're looking for the "spacer Mesh" material that many recumbent seats are made from, you might check w Gehring Textiles, or Apex Mills.

    Both are knitters of these specialty textiles.

    Getting a small quantity might be your biggest Challenge....They typically sell only to manufacturers or wholesale textile outfits.

    If and when you talk to them, be sure to tell them the "Z" dimension (thickness) you're looking for. They make a LOT of different styles of this stuff.

    Due to my Noob Status, I cannot provide you w the links to the company websites, so you'll have to do your own googling....... :update: Links Added!

    Good luck.
