Regarding seats with shorter or longer noses. The measurements shown above were "trued up" using the Terry Fly seat on the tandem as a base. I measured the"nose to sit bone" distances on it and campared it to the others That distance was shorter on the touring bike seat so I adjusted the actual distance for that in the answer you see above. The Sella on the raod bike was the same as the Terry Fly so no adjustment was needed on that one.
TG, Thanks for your surveys in general, as well as questionds like these because I find them thought provoking, educational and they frequently lead to things that make our tandem and cycling experience a little more fun.
