2 different 29-inch Yunis...?

I don't see much difference. The crank arms for the $300 one are "Bike
Euro" and the tube is a presta valve tube. Looks like you get your
choice of frames with the cheaper one. I don't think there's enough
difference there to warrant paying $300. I'd go with the cheaper one.

Have you thought about the Nimbus 29er? I'm sure you could probably get
a seat upgrade (highly recomended as something like a gel seat is much
nicer than a standard KH). You don't need a square top crown on a 29er
so a nimbus would be just fine.

beware, once again the pix dont match the description...

the cheaper model lists a "quick-realease seat clamp" but is pictured
with one thats not.....and it says it has a 25.4 seat post but the
frame and post are clearly 22.2

you may want to call before you order so you can know what your getting
exactly.

I've considered it. Would I be able to do an air-seat conversion to the
stock nimbus seat (can't recall what that is at the moment)?

I'm guessing the one for under $250 did not include the KH saddle before
(hence the discrepancy with the picture, and the note at the bottom),
and that was part of the price difference.

Edit: Oh it's just a normal KH seat, durr. What would you recommend as
an upgrade off UDC for a seat? Or just some no-name gel seat from my
LBS?

Edit: Oh, I just 'these' (http://tinyurl.com/gqbua). Would that be a
good option, since they're nimbus seats, and it's a nimbus uni?

From what I have heard and from my experiments with air seats I would
suggest getting the nimbus gel seat over an air seat. I don't believe
it would come with the nimbus but it may be the same price as the
nimbus is the same price as a KH. Just give them a call and ask them.

Well it'd just be buying the uni and a gel seat, 260+ tax/shipping,
sounds easy enough. But gel seats are comfortable for distance riding,
though? That's my main question.

I have a Nimbus 29er with a Nimbus Gel seat (I paid full whack for the
gel seat as a spare - they're now a low cost upgrade on the Nimbus 29er
in the UK).

It's quite a comfy seat, even for spending an hour or two in the
saddle, I like it. I also got one on my UDC radial 360. Last time I
spent that long in the saddle I did feel some numbness by the end of
the ride, but that was all.

I found it worth the money for an upgrade (from a cheap Velo saddle
which never seemed to be shaped to bit my behind!).

Everyone's bum is different, though, so opinions about seats do vary
wildly.

Dave: Just a question. What use is a unicyle with no seat? And no
pedals!
Mark: To answer a question with a question: What use is a skateboard?
Dave: Skateboards have wheels.
Mark: My wheel has a wheel!

I found it much more comfortable than an air seat. The air seat seems
to compress everywhere, although that means even pressure everywhere,
there are some parts I just don't want pressure and with a gel seat I
find that I avoid pressure in unwanted areas.
