Was I "Done" By A Fellow Funster? (1 Viewer)

[JJ]

After a considerable length of time and thought, I decided to buy a fully functioning, Claude Butler, light weight framed, 21 geared, fully functional bike with a brand new, (professionally fitted) rear tube and tyre from Funster Sheriff.

He accepted my old bike in part exchange (he agreed to dispose of it for me) and charged me two jars of Marmite (thanks, Norman and Sue).

Two days later, I found out that, prior to the sale, he had transferred the super comfortable, padded saddle cover to his new bike, leaving the really hard saddle on mine.

What are my rights under that new sales law?

Perhaps he removed the padded saddle cover for hygiene reasons?

I would never argue with a Sheriff especially that beggar, he has the right to take the law into his own hands.

Be careful JJ, be very careful.

Anyway you are the proud owner of more personal padding than Sheriff Big John, so just park yer Arris and stop moaning.

Maybe you should just get "your people" to lean on them a touch!

Could they have been the two jars we doctored?

 

[Bailey58]

I would sit on it for a while before doing anything drastic.

Ripped off mate..

Not all is lost though..
Cover the saddle with a nice bit of fur caught locally.. Catch about 10 of 'em skin 'em ( cook up the meat so no waste ), tan the skins and sew them together for a SUPER comfy seat cover

Oh.. forgot ..

Here is a picture of the animals I am talking about..

Now then everyone.. say AHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!

AS I SEE IT: Probably none: He changed the saddle on advice from others that you wouldn't need it:
Basically as you are a Tight Ar$e anyway

 

[Gellyneck]

I would work on the principle he assumed you wouldn't need the padded saddle as you already had sufficient built in!

Watch You don't get it nicked, a bit more desirable than your old bike! !!
There are some dodgy people in the continent supermarket in silves.

 

[Baldeagle7470]

Just get yourself a "whoopee" cushion

 

[GWAYGWAY]

It was probably a girlie saddle with the shape to comfort them. A Claude Butler Must have a hard saddle, It massages the piles back into place, especially on Belgian Pave.

Ohh pleeeeese!!!!!! T M I !!!!

Well this thread about Claude Butler takes me back 49yrs ago when bought Track Iron?

 

[Cyclewalkbob]

Now for the serious post! As a cyclist who has riden all over UK and Europe I can confirm that you are actually better off with a hard saddle than a soft comfy one.

The reason is your weight pushes your sit bones, other assorted undercarriage items, down through the soft padding onto the hard saddle. So after time the padding does not work.

You are better just getting used to the hard saddle. Wear some Lycra shorts with a proper chamois/modern fabric chamois liner which will reduce the friction between your tender bits and the saddle.
If Lycra is not your fashion thing, then a pair of mountain bike shorts with a removable chamois insert can be almost as effective.

So please do not look at it as if you are missing something, the Sherrif has actually done you a favour!

Enjoy your Claude Butler ! My first bike - I used to own a steel one!

Sorry for the post -I must get out more

Who's this Lycra? Is she a Funster?

 

[JJ]

Thanks for your serious input Mr Cyclewalkbob...

I am sure your advice is sound but I don't think I use my bike the same way you use yours!

I would rather nail my "thingy" to a piece of 4x4 wood with a blunt, rusty nail and then walk around in a Man U*d shirt than be seen in a pair of Lycra cycling shorts (or any other type of shorts for that matter)!

My bicycle is used as a device to get from A to B (where A is less than 1 km from B) in slightly less time than it would take me to walk it...
