Coming on nicely Dave

Has anyone bought a new seat from DS. they look OK from the photos and seem almost too cheap if that's possible ?

I got a cover from DS as a spare  and for 10 quid 'ish it was a cracking deal and decent quality. His seats used to be made by Morreti (Bob the Seat is Gloucestershire) but not sure if they are now (Trigger may know)

BTW did anyone see Bikepushers NOS seat sale

Which I suggest came with this.

It still doesn't quite stack up as a business venture though... Think he gets bikes delivered, which has got be at least £100 extra,  plus 13.5% to eBay & PayPal on two grand is £273 on his sales. Maybe he makes it on the smaller remaining items but think I will stick to electronics to make a crust. Can't help thinking that if he wasn't so picky about delivery and sold items like engines /wheels BIN he would do a lot better. He auctioned a really low miler CB350 engine  and only got £100 for it but if he had palletized it and  offered delivery or kept the motor and frame together he would have done a lot better. I could forgive him more if he kept engine/frame combination together as a single auction.
