Greetings---
Before anyone runs off and buys golfing plusses for cycling use, I have been asked by a knowledgeable Welshman cyclist to convey the following warning -----
"If they [CR Members] buy golfing or shooting plusses these will not be double seated. Our old plusses had the extra material in the seat the modern ones you mentioned will not last 5 minutes if you do any serious riding in them. You really want an old fashion handmade tailor, dressmaker or fashion student to make some up for you with the double seat in." [end quote]
[Me again]: I imagine that golf or shooting plusses MIGHT work if, after purchase, you take them to your tailor for the proper modifications, that is, the adding in of extra layers of fabric in the seat and in other areas of stress. Don't know if the tailor would have to tear the seat apart to do the modifications. But I suspect you could also have a chamois sewn in the seat if so desired.
Still, whether one buys golf plusses off the shelf and has them modified or contracts with a tailor for a pair made from scratch, there seems to be a workable solution.
Just wanted to pass along the word of caution regardingoff-the-shelf golf plusses lest, after erroneous purchase by a CR Member, I be taken out and beaten with a nine iron!
Cheerio,
