    Arrr. I though you were looking to exchange seats with Hudders ... or did I misread something as usual?

    Yes, WiganChris has a lowered seat and wants a standard seat (because he's normal height).

    Hudders is on the lookout for a longer pair of legs, though...

    I'm going to try and get up to Manchester weekend after next (14/15 Nov) so could possibly meet someplace conveniant and look at possibly swapping seats if you free.

    Mine isn't a standard seat in that its been recovered and is wider. I'm assuming its the standard height ... I'll be really disappointed if it's already a short-arse variety and will be joining Hudders in looking for leg extensions.
