Hi Guys
Not sure if anyone is currently in the market for this but will put it here first for a while and at macretro prices, which are still negotiable north of the border
FOR SALE:
YEPP Maxi Seat
This is Calebs seat that has been used on the Long Haul Trucker for day rides and also for touring. He has outgrown it and while we have now got the Big Dummy, this seat would have attached to the platform on the Dummy, the same as a rack.
It is a well designed and made Dutch seat that comes with the rack attachment for mounting it. These seats come with either a seatpost brace or a small rack top that just attaches to the top of a normal rear rack. The seat then fits into an opening and one end is adjusted via a heavy duty mechanism to a secure fit that can then be locked, so it will never move. Once the rack is on the seat securely mounts in about 60 seconds. There is no movement or flexing at all. The seat section is a sort of heavy duty flexible material that is attached to a metal frame so it's quite comfortable. Caleb has spent a few continuous days touring in this and never complained.
As can be seen in the pics it is in perfect condition, with all straps and reflectors etc in place and there is two keys with it as well. It is obviously quite well made as it looks barely used when in fact it has been well used, though looked after. The rack attachment included has the four bolts and clamps for securely attaching it to any rack. The seat itself has a comfortable but secure harness and the feet wells which keep feet safely out of wheels etc also have little straps to secure feet.
There is lots of info and reviews etc on the web so just google and you will get an idea.
RRP seems to vary depending on the fitting used but generally for a rack mounted version and the adapter rack its usually well over £100 new,
We are looking at £45 and can try and deliver to save posting as we are heading down to Glasgow early next month and also heading across to Edinburgh at some point so can always hook up somewhere.
Have included a couple of pics of how it clamps to the rack so you can see. Any questions let me know.
