Now that plenty of peeps have used Tony and everyone has nothing but praise for his work, i hope more peeps will try him, the cheapest in U.K. and my opinion worth every penny i spent on my custom seat..

For those who've had seats done by Tony, how long does it take to get seat done? Does he deliver or do I have to ride up him to give seat and collect it?

Turnaround is usually 1 week - I took mine to him cos it was easier for me and if he's got a spare in stock he'll lend it ya so you can still go play :clap: :clap: Top Bloke and a cracking job too although schlinky i wouldn't 'ride up him' if i were you cos i don't think he's that way inclined :D :D and ya won't get any money off either :mrgreen: :D

OOPS. fookin' typo, of course :oops) :oops)

Don't mind riding UP to him really, only problem is timing. Ideally I'd like to have seat sorted for the May trip (20th) as Meeshy sliding about too much on the original, blames it on my accelerating and braking harshly (it's intentionaly of course, to keep her fit and alert :mrgreen: )

If you haven't rung already Shlink- Tony has 2 spare seats for the xx so it's a straight swap job to keep you on the road. Turn round is a week although he sorted mine in 3 days for a re-sculpt and gel inserts fitting.

That was only last week so the info is up ta date :mrgreen:

Going up to see Tony on Monday. My money (all 250K of it) says it'll piss it on the day.

Any suggestions/ideas/advice on comfortable seat mods? (serious suggestions boys)

Well, made it to Tony Archer's eventually and met up with Tim, so it turned into a mini bimble. Tony's a nice guy and very helpful. Picking up seat on Saturday, while Meeshy's in Scotland, so if weather nice anyone fancy a rideout?

We were supposed to stop at Stoolie's place but Tim got lost (without his Garmin too, impressive!). Did a quick run up Snake Pass and stopped at Tim's for a brew. Cheers Tim, nice coffee, nice house and nice bits of bikes all over the garage! You're bloody lucky to have some of the nicest roads literally at your doorstep.

Pics taken behind Tim's house. Bit flat compared to Lincolnshire :P
