This seat far exceeded my expectations. I thought it would be a cheap entry point but it's hard to imagine anything better live. Here are some of its great features: 1. It comes with all the tools you need to assemble it and a superbly illustrated instruction manual.2. You can see the attention to detail everywhere. Watch them attach the zipper to the studs that secure the back of the seat. A lot of thought has gone into this product.3. Everything is regulated relative to everything else. I thought about making my own and I'm so glad I didn't. You can adjust the distance from the saddle to the pedals, the height, the forward position of the backrest and the angle of the handlebars. You can adjust the height, left/right position, and front/back position of the switch relative to the seat. You can recline the seat. You can get exactly the position you want. There's no way I would achieve that with a custom 4 setup. It has neat little things I didn't even think I'd need like rollers that let you roll it. I didn't originally intend to move it, but it turned out to be useful. FYI, I'm 6ft 4in and 200lbs and can fit comfortably in this seat. It's very durable. All in all, I would just buy it and be done with it. This is a really well made product.
