    I orderd a Mark Powers Fiberglass seat today along with the matching Ventisit pad. I also orded a much needed neck/head rest http://ademhr.com/products/adem2c.html

    I held off on the RANS Three Way bars until i get the seat mounted. I want so see how the new seat feels and how it affects my reach when I ride it.

    I will post pics when they come in and let you know how the bike rides.

    If all is well I will be selling the Euromesh Seat I do not think I will need it amymore.

    Will really like to hear your feedback! I hear the POC fiberglass seat is extreme as far as the recline goes, around 20-25 degrees. The headrest is a great idea.

    Ok Mark was great to deal with and i received my Seat and Ventisit pad in short order.

    It looks great on this Corsa! I also added the ADM headrest. I was only able to ride it to the end of my driveway and back so I am not really ready to say much about it...One thing i like better is its SOLID! NOw when i push my the pedals ALL of the power will be going into it the bike and not be absorbed by the seat. Also i like how it hugs the body...Great seat!

    I already like the Ventisit better than the regular pad. I can move around easier and the Ventisit does not stick to my clothes...it feels kinda mushy..lol

    I plan on hitting the W&OD trail tomorrow for an extended ride... I still think i have a lot of adjustment to do to get it dialed in right...but i will get a good sense tomorrow how i will truly like it.

    Stay tuned!

    Ok after riding the Bike and new seat for a few days I will ahve to say I LOVE the POC seat. The camping pad takes 90% of the road vibration away and makes the seat extremley comfortable. I actually think the extra padding makes the seat fit me better. I like it so much that I posted the euromesh for sale. I was waiting to see how i liked it first and I now know I love it.

    Also I have no complaints with the Ventisit. I like moving around on the bike and i can easily slide around, dont get the idea you can slide off the bike but you can shift your weight and the material will not grab like the normal pad would.



    This seat would go great with a ROCKETMANTN!

    I know. I already talked to Mark about them. For the type of riding I do, I don't think it is worth the money. I am a casual rider and comfort is way above speed. That is the conclusion Mark and I came to when I asked him about it. Though he would be happy to sell me one and your seat looks great for you!!!
