Default Hammock Seat
UPS tracking indicates my hammock seat is out for delivery. Got if from Latus, cheapest I could fine. It has to be an improvement over the stock seat on my EGC.

General chat doesn't need to have a point. Sounds like he is stoked that his new seat is on the way.

Is a hammock seat what you have to get when you're too old for banana hammocks?

Good luck with the new seat when you get it installed.

+1 It does appear from his post everyone should first send him a message with their content and makes sure it gets approved. Geez.

"Hows the seat btw?"

Have only been able to ride about an hour with it, none of which included my wife, however, it seems to be more comfortable and I noticed it does lower me somewhat. Seems to feel more like I am in the bike versus on it.

Thanks for asking....

That's interesting, My hammock on the RKC feels like I'm sitting on top of the bike not in it.

I'm not sure but I think your RKC lets you sit lower with the stock seat than my EGC does, so maybe the hammock sits you higher than the stock RKC seat. Of course, as often is the case, I may be wrong...

Plus my hammock is the newer one, perhaps you have the older one, as I understand does sit higher...
