Ralph Brown in Ghana on a Manta / EVOLVE Saddle & Review

Ralph and 20 co-riders complete 350 tropical miles, raising funds for Friends of Tafo on a Manta saddle (now named the "EVOLVE"), bringing clean water to villagers (post-ride interview: Unified Sport reviews page)

I just got back from West Africa and a six-day ride through the tropics on a Manta.
My blog is here: magicmenagerie.com/2011/10/14/ghana-cycle-challenge-2011 ~ but I’d love to endorse the genius design...

...I have to tell you – you’re up against it because the "pro" cyclists on my tour were very sniffy indeed simply because they had never heard of it. Funny lot, cyclists.

I’m not one, I’m just a chap who didn’t want a six-day cycle ride in 100 degrees to cripple me. So many many thanks for sending me the saddle – Louella Hamer bought one on my recommendation and was relieved I suspect.

Thanks again
