Chris:
Can you please provide some source information for snakeply? I searched for it
on google but got very few good hits. Maybe it goes by other names? Where have
you bought it? Thanks!
I've made my own such thing by kerfing 1/4" plywood on a table saw, but it's
labor intensive.

Hi Ivan,
My favorite way to make seats is to use a flexible type of plywood called
"snakeply". When two layers of snakeply are glued together with ordinary
carpenter's glue it no longer flexes of course, and as long as you've formed it
into a nice lumbar curve you've got yourself a cheap, light and good looking
seat! I like to make a female form to the right shape and press the layers of
snakeply into it with sand bags until the glue sets. Good luck!

Hi there
My name is Ivan van Hoof, I live in Christchurch New Zealand.
I plan to make a 700c or 26 inch with slicks and use it for touring( day trips
and/or longer)
I know there's a long steep learning curve to ride the bike, but I think being
low and out of the wind would make my trips faster and longer ( more Kim's!) I
don't think I could do 900km in four days though, I would be happy with 160km
per day in 5 hours.
I plan to find a 853 or 531 frame donor bike and hope to have a light python,
nexus 8 speed hub and or roller brake( I know they are heavy) , not sure on the
pivot and the seat yet.I look forward to the build. I am still in the planning
stage and any advise would be great.
I look forward to hearing from the group.
