Laam Seats

Mind if I ask you your height and inseam? That seat looks like it was built for someone with long arms and maybe a 34” inseam.

It looks like a more padded version of my (slightly modified) Russel's Day Long saddle.

If I didn't have the Russel's Day Long then I think my choice would be the LAAM.

I trimmed the "wings" on the Russel by about 1/2 inch on each side, made a world of difference for me. Added a 1/2" of memory foam to the padding. That had less effect on the seat feel, which was already very good, very ergonomically shaped. The LAAM looks like my modified Russel, but probably has a bit more outside/perimeter buttocks support. I'd guess that works just fine for a 33 or longer inseam.

Laam used to work for Russel as far as I know so that is probably where the similarities come from.

All are great looking seats. I have a greatly used Corbin I will be selling and a gently used Sargent as well. Though I might just keep the Corbin and try and modify it like Bob did, I certainly couldn’t mess up the old Corbin haha.

Now I wish I hadn’t sold my stock seat so now ill have to find another seat pan for Laam to use if I end up going that way. :{)

From the LAAM website (again he only responds to cell phone calls)
Can you build on a aftermarket seat or seat pan?
Yes, we will redo other seat manufacture's seats to better fit you. We often add a small charge on Corbin seats when they are redone at our shop, due to the extra time and cost in drilling and re-riveting the seat pan. Please contact us for pricing for the additional work.
