[City/8"] Saddle? Retailer in Europe?

[Eukleides]

Hello,

I read through the archives, and it looks like the 8" is much better than the 6", so that's what I'll get.

I have a couple of questions, though:
1. I read that the saddle is very uncomfortable: Is that the case? Can I replace it with any standard saddle?
2. Is there a retailer in Europe (UK or on the continent) that you would recommend?

Thank you.

Hi Eukleides,

Yes, the ride quality of the 8" model is a bit better than the 6". However, the folded size of the 8" is not as small as the 6" and the folded package is not as neat as the 6", too.

Here are my answers:

1. The newer saddle is already more comfortable than the old saddle which was used on older model of A-bike and A-bike Plus.

Of course, you can replace the stock saddle with a standard one if you can find a seat post with correct diameter or you have to install an adaptor on your A-bike.

2. Here are the world-wide distributors of the A-bike.

Ordered the A-Bike City. It should be here next week. I'll keep you posted about how it compares to the CarryMe SD.
