and maybe they made it such an ugly color so iin the future you would go " hey, remember that really ugly miyata seat?" if u say that then miyata has done there job on getting u to remember their products.

Don't get me wrong, I love the color of your Uni. But Dude, That seat isn't helping... not even a little. Puke Green, White, and and Bright Yellow just don't look that good together. If you think it does, I am signing you up for that show "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" In case you haven't heard of the show, five gay guys come to your house and set you straight on all things that have to do with fashion. ie... Which colors look good together.

JJuggle, I am a little suprised you like that green color, I thought red was more your color.

I don't think they list it online, but I asked unicycle.com last time I called them: YES, you can buy the Torker black seat, if I'm remembering correctly it's about $30US.

1. Everyone else has one

2. It's a relatively ugly color, and doesn't go well with the colors of other things on the unicycle (or clothing)

In the past few years, Miyata has made their unicycles in red, blue, and green. Until recent years, Miyata has only sent us what they felt like, which seemed to always be the green ones. This makes me think they weren't that popular in Japan either.
I like Miyata green. It is not my favourite shade of green but I would still choose it over red or blue. I think it would suit my unicycle (which is black) and some of my clothing (which is also black). It just so happens that I am ordering a black bumper not Miyata green, but it's not because it's ugly or everyone else has one. If everyone else had a black bumper I would still get one. I think your MUni looks good Andrew. Yellow is not my favourite colour, but I think it compliments Miyata green well.
