Nice buy for budget-builds if they are.  Pop a GT decal on and Bob's yer uncle. 

[Dannywhac]

Close, but no cigar.

[pickle]

they look pretty much the same to me 

i have to say though, the GT one i have on my old rider is THE most uncomfortable fooking seat i've ever had the misfortune to sit on 

[Dannywhac]

they look pretty much the same to me 

They're s slightly different profile and there's less plastic underneath the nose of the saddle.

Fookin good for the money though!! 

[Dannywhac]

Yeah - although the last two real GT's I got only set me back a tenner a pop

And yes, they're frikkin uncomfortable.

lol....I know what you mean about the comfort thing, I generally tend to stand up all the time now anyway (habit from riding my new school more often than my others, and the seat position is set about 1" off the frame so unless im stationary....im up and about on it

Same here Gav - only time I've felt if they're comfortable or not is either grabbing it with me knees, or wehn I land bad and get it up the chuff.

There's no high seatposts in this house

Too true Dan!!  ....I nearly totalled myself a few months back, hopped a small rail....landed and the LH crank arm came off as the bolt had unwound itself...causing me to nearly break my ankle and got the wrong end of an aitken seat straight up my ass 

Why do we do it lol.

Still not convinced that Ruption didn't order a boat-load of those seats from Viscount with their own logo on.  If I ask them if they are Viscount branded, and they confirm this, will that mean they are the same?

I can't really see much difference between theirs and this TBH.

Say there were the same mould.....How would you go about getting rid of the Ruption logo?  Cos you really dont want that on it lol

Nitro-Mors on a cotton wool bud then rinse off immediately.  Didn't damage the plastic at all.  Done it with a lightning bolt seat.

I can't see any difference as it's hard to make out the nose of the saddle when it is flipped.  Maybe Danny used a virtual trowel and brush?

Hmmm....interesting, ive just ordered one for a giggle so ill see what its like.  at £4 if its no good i can always sling it in the hedge

How can you go wrong for £4?  That's what ebay sellers would charge for postage alone.   

[Dannywhac]

Yeah, not saying it ain't a bargain I'll take a piccy if you like of one of mine when I'm back home to compare to - they're close enough, but I reckon they'll be slightly less sturdy than the GT ones, and a bit harder on the a-nus if you try doing the old mid-school nose cut-off.

[GTnumber1]

that seat is a cross between a 87 and 88 gt seat, fookin bargain though

LeeHunt just bought them all and put them up for £20 each.  

Do you have your microscope handy? ^^^  (so you can read my banner)

You are incorrect, dear boy.  The archaeologist has spoken.  

We'll see what they're like when Gavin's arrives.     edit and Pickle's
