Does anyone else do what I do and get hold of the really cheap saddles
whose cover is held on by the seat bolts rather than glued on?

You can then take the cover off and do a basic airseat conversion by
ripping out the foam and sticking an 20" inner tube b4 replacing the
cover.

It's good to drill a hole in the base for easy access to the tube valve
but not essential; I've been riding one where the valve's just tucked
down the rear edge of the base plate.

I don't do this just to save money, I find it a genuinly comfortable
seat.

Unfortunately I've never ridden miyatas or velos so I can't offer any
comparison. The viscount seems like a decent seat but I just think it's
a shame that the cover is glued on.

My experience with foam seats (admittedly the cheap ones) is that I get
roughly an hour of comfortable riding and then distress sets in.

With the airseat conversion I can ride for several hours.
