Pink seat or gray seat?
#55
The white wasn't a choice.... that's the current seat. But glad to hear the feedback as the majority say the white looks best. Pink is second, gray it seems is out.
Did a little more today in Photoshop, good enough to get the idea. Here's the latest comparison.
Yeah I know... when will it end... I can't help it. Whenever there is something I don't like, I feel uncomfortable until I get it right. Remember - I traded a website for the seat as it is now, and I got the short end of the stick. Scratched vinyl, glue all over the top, and a really bad job of gluing the felt under the seat - it's all coming apart. Ticks me off.
I know which one I am leaning towards now... let's see if the majority agree:

Lot of answers to Ya so far..
but,, being a master artist of 50 yrs it all about about flow and balance,
Just chitting Ya bout the master artist.....
But, as I am an ole man I do know bout flow and balance. At least in my mind..
So.. here's my opinion if U want it.
The pink seat is too much, overkill of Pink, to much, IMO. It just don't flow with Ur bike.
The gray is a new color introduced that doesn't match anything else on the flow of Ur bike.
IMO if Ur Pin Stripes on U bags were gray and U had all gray Fringe, then the a Gray seat would flow and balance better.
So IMO looking at Ur pics, the only choice is an all white seat which U already have and again IMO it's the best looking of the choice's U've shown.
Don't overthinK beauty (Which is what U have) and make something really good into something Fugly..
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++
OK, I just when back and read the thread again and added see U added another one.
The one with the pink in the middle and the outer seat white.., not the ribbon one.. but the solid pink in the middle. that's now the winner for me.

The only problem I foresee is that every seat maker I've talked to says pink is a difficult color to do in that they don't stock it much and there aren't a lot of shades available. So I will have to get swatches and see if one will be a close enough match.
Nothing is easy!

I say get a brand new white seat made the way you want it with no glue and other crap on it but stick to white it makes the bike pop! It just looks the best on your color palette you have. For soem reason all the pink and grey seats take something away fromt he rest of the bike. And that is way to awesome of a paint job to add a bad seat. Sounds like the majority agree white is your color but you seem set on getting some more pink in there and not even sure if you can match it - good luck!
