Tony Archer has retired. Last time I saw him he was fed up and just wanted to ride his T140V. Don't blame him, he'd been at it donkeys years.

Mine came with a modified seat which I think was done by these blokes from what the seller said;

Don't know if it has gel inserts but the finish is nice and it seems comfy enough for my bony arse.

Didn't realise Tony had retired. Fair play to him he sounded like he'd had enough when he did mine a few years ago. Was always busy whenever I stopped by.

Second on Saddle Craft in South Shields.
They did my pan seat and it went from an instrument of torture to a bearable support for all day/week riding.
You should speak to them with your requirements.
