Thanks for all the nice feedback. This is how to get a Tobin. Well, more the point, this is how I got the tobin. Bit of history, Tobin is Tobin O'Connor. One guy, that is why he is real hard to get a hold of. He hails out of New Salem, PA in the US. The first thing I did was track down his real email, which was sales@tobinseats.com, not the jobbie listed at pashnit. On there he has a pdf to be filled out and sent with the seats. I was really careful about the details. I sent the pictures below and specified the font and exact colours in writing as well as in email follow-ups. The cost for mine was $452 Aussie all told (see website - tobinseats.com) The real trick was being without a seat for three ish weeks. Since I was away, no big deal. he will not supply the seats, regardless of how much you try to bribe him, everyone has their limit though, I reached mine before him. And there you go.
As you guys may or may not know, I have just started a little carbon fibre and kevlar business for speciality parts, still working on the first items and kick-off for release about mid year and since I can't get my sheetie to go any faster, I would be more than happy to do the leg work for whoever is intrested but can't be bothered dicking about. That doesn't just go for Tobins, I'll research and deliver on any part that is anywhere for anyone for, let's say $50 (depending on the amount of work involved, of course). concept pics included. You pay the postage and for the bit, delivery to your door, no strings attached. Might as well let all the crap in my head about bike-bits work for me. Might be a stupid concept but just a thought. Here is another one while I'm at it, custom graphic sets. If you want something really speciality, I can probably make it. Different sizes, colours, variants on words or symbols. I can have them printed locally and sent out, for about the same as cheesy ebay knock-offs. (probably - If the printers don't rip me off - I'll find out for sure if anyone cares less). I have included an example of the detail for pondering.
In any case, thanks for the compliments and happy busaing for another day.
First pic = actual seat, 2nd = concept, 3rd = detail for Tobin, 4th = concept for paint.
