I sent this guy one seat almost a year and 1/2 ago and so far no seat. He has two Ducktail seats of mine. Seems like a nice guy but bad at answering Emails. I've Emailed him twice to just send the seats back. Still no seats. An original NOS Ducktail did go for $1200.00 on Ebay about 6 months ago. Eli

I just bought a NEW NOS seat for my K1( I think it is the same as a k0)
for $200 US.
I think that guy is on glue.

Actually, the seats will "fit" but the K0 is distinctly different from a K1 because of the infamous ducktail.

the infamous ducktail.
So "infamous" is a euphemism for "fugly" now?  ;) ;D

I like the ducktail as well. I'm happy to see that the item did not attract a single bid - the insanity hasn't quite got that out of hand.... yet!

i like the ducktail.

Me too, then the K1 seat, which was a common replacement for the K0.  ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
