Well got my seat back from mean city a few day ago. They were great to work with. Everything went as planned. I have had a ridden everyday since I got it back and it is much better. The only thing I would warn people against especially west coast is the cost and time of shipping. It took 7 days alone on the return trip. I shipped two usps, I just wish I would have set up different return shipping for the way back.
Alan is a standup guy, and does a very nice job on the seats he works on. You can't really go wrong with him. Just tell him what you are looking for out of your seat.
