Corbin saddle offer - or trade

Tue May 29 16:20:31 PDT 2012

John:

My intent when I posted this to the list was a simple swap - we each pay
for shipping our own saddles, then I'd make an additional $60 donation to
Micapeak.  In other words, you'd get the Corbin for the cost of shipping
the stock seat.  I don't need any pictures of the stock saddle, just
reassurance it'll fit my '96.  A stock seat (yours or mine) will then be
heading down to Sargent Cycle sometime in late June or July for some
customizing and foam reshaping.

I just removed the Corbin on Saturday; be aware of the fact I do not have a
seat latch for the Corbin (I'd simply swapped the latch from the stock
seat).  Two quick bolts and less than 2 minutes is all it took.  If you
need/want to remove the latch before boxing and shipping the stock seat
I'll understand.

And, in reality, I probably won't get a chance to ship before Monday.  It
will be almost impossible to get to a UPS Store during normal human hours
this week.  My wife returns from a business trip Friday, and she can ship
this out for me on Monday.

Does all this seem fair?
