Default Putting a KH seat on a Miyata--what's involved?


There are certainly many posts in the archives discussing this issue,
but i'll help you out nonetheless. I don't mind as much as others.

I have actually done the opposite. I ride a Bedford frame that came
with a KH saddle and post. When i broke the KH saddle while jumping
down some stairs, i decided to switch to a Miyata saddle. To do so, i
had to buy a new Miyata saddle *and* seat post, since the KH (standard)
and Miyata posts have different base plate designs (the holes are in
different places). Fortunately, both posts fit into my frame.

So, to answer your question, you'll just have to buy a new KH *with a KH
(standard) seat post*. The post costs about $10 extra, so no worries.
Just to be sure though, you may want to ask the distributor about the
post width and check that it matches your Miyata seat post. If it
doesn't, there are adapters available, but i'm sure it will fit.

Good luck with the new KH saddle. I ride one on my commuter, and it
feels great. It's just isn't as good as the Miyata for street/trials
riding, in my opinion.
