The seat is sh!te mate, honestly and so are those pink bar ends. I've only just gotten round to getting replacements after 3 years lol. To be fair I've only done 2400 miles in 3 years!
The bike is really clean for it's age, always gets compliments.

Ha ha ha you should have seen mine when I first had it , I was riding around with a rentec rack/grab rail on it .
Don't blame you for not changing it straight away , why not pop the seat on eBay & see if you can get good money for the "limited edition" seat off some Muppet , there's usually a standard seat or two on the bay , they're not hard to recover

Maybee but there is more of a chance of selling, i'd rather pay a small % to get parts sold etc, Gumtree can be ok but I think ebay is better, IMO only of course

I stuck the seat on along with some scuffed mirrors and those pink/red bar ends and sold the lot. It's amazing what folk buy on there. It's not going to make you a millionaire, but it all goes towards the new goodies.

I find Gumtree pretty sh!t. I've never sold anything on it apart from some kids furniture and I've put loads on it.
