Ken, How much extra for the bicycle seat would you be willing to pay to
have it custom made to your personal design specifications (which will
change as you lose wieght from all that exercise) at the Toys R Us or Kinko's
Korner Rapid Manufacturing Center, based on the personal data you provide
(by Internet or on a disk) and a design you choose from off some
designer's Web site or on the OEM's Web site and is downloaded to the toy store or
Kinko's? Does that matter to you or are you happy with the mass-produced
seat provided by the OEM?
