i just bought a beautiful black and red Electra cruiser, but the seat is falling apart. I'd like to find a replacement in red. I've searched but can't seem to find any red cruiser-style seats with the massive foam and spring supports on the bottom. Anybody know where to find this?

If your mechanicals aren't in ruin, reupholstering it at a good upholstery shop is an option.

This link is to my big 17 page thread Tempest... post 315, showing the results I had with my Schwinn OEM Viscount seat and the much worse off seat of a 3-speed Hawthorne. (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?345805-Tempest-The-Grey-Bike-Grows-Up&p=9704228&viewfull=1#post9704228)

Just add red leather in the shade you like

Electra use to (and as far as I know still does) sell just seats online. I don't know if that helps.

I got my red seat from the rato and they looked great, If you need your cruise to look amazingly wonderful try this shop and you will be satisfied.

The rato? Is that an online shop? A Google search turns up nothing. Could you perhaps supply a link?
