M5 Carbon seat on a Barcroft?

[Straturday@Yaho]

Hi,

I've been bent (and lurking here) for 3 years now on a '99 RANS Stratus. The SWB bug has bitten me
and I have taken a serious interest in the Barcroft Dakota or Virginia GT as a possible addition to
the family. Has anyone built either of these models up with a M5 type carbon seat? For some reason
the more I look at these two bikes and their high BB and reclined seat, the more I wonder what they
would look and ride like with the M5 type seat (not that there is anything wrong with a RANS seat).
It just seems like it would work good for these bikes.

Thanks,

Tim

Tom,

Thanks for the link and please pardon my Google Lag. I can't believe I missed this stuff
especially where it was so recent. I even missed it searching the archives (maybe should have
searched by date).

Oh well....
