Thanks,velo! The seat is my own design, I call it the "anatomic" seat. I currently sell these seats to recumbent homebuilders and those who would like to try a hardshell seat on their production recumbent without spending big $$$$. The seat is the hardest part about building a recumbent, and purchasing this seat makes it easy and cheap.

The change to this style of seat means that I can now stay clipped in and just put my hand down at stop lights, as my back is a bit lower which brings my shoulders down a bit. But this change has necessitated a move to different handlebars, as the reach is *almost* too far now. I just need to fabricate something that will pull the bars back several inches.
