  I already have a seat in perfect condition, but these things look rad!

  Is the fabric actually genuinely from Mexico? If so, where is the final assembly of your saddles done? QBP says your saddles come from Taiwan.

  I am obviously blowing this way out of proportion and am extremely gullible.

  We actually got the material here in So cal and shipped to Taiwan for manufacturing. It could have originally come from Mexico, but the Mexican Blanket name really refers to the style/colors/knit of the material.

  i saw these at interbike; it only took 7 months so that’s not too bad considering.

  so it seems like it’s better if you don’t say when you’re releasing stuff, that way there aren’t a bunch of people asking for stuff that isn’t finished yet. take this release as an example. cheers odsy.

  Bike Dog-

  You would think it would be easier to make this seat, but it did take a long time. The original samples were made from a Mexican blanket I bought in downtown LA. We thought it would be easier for our seat maker to get the material. It wasn’t. After many failed attempts, we just got some and sent it to them. It took forever, so sorry about that. If you would like to see what happens when you rush things, check the companies who also saw our seats at interbike and their copies. Not too nice. I agree, showing things to early is bad, but sometimes you just get stuck with unexpected delays.

  Nick Brema-

  The one draw back/advantage is you don’t get to choose the color you get. Its part of the character. If your shop orders a few, you can choose in person. Maybe people will trade seats with others, that could be cool too. Sorry for the long answer, there is no way to pick the exact seat cover, from us.

  thanks for the response Jim, you’ve been awsome. too bad i didn’t talk to you last interbike. I was saying the time it took from interbike to now, considering the amount of work i had already assumed it would take to get mass quantities made, it was pretty quick. good work.
  i’ve seen quite a few custom odsy wheels put together lately too so great job on that also.

  i like them but i can’t take a risk in spending money and not getting the color that i want. really there should be color categories to choose from going by the all over color. send an email to me if it is possible to get a seat that is mostly purple. i would dig it!
