We developed this model and many more popular bike seats with the guidance and assistance of Taihei Saddle Co. Notice the AMERICAN FLYER brand name printed on the carton. A little history; The president of Taihei was Katsuhiko `Katchan` Kitaguchi, a very close friend of Howie & Kay, even today. His son, Naoya, lived with Kay & I for over a year while he was learning about the American bicycle market. Naoya is the current president of the company. I have known and loved him since he was about 8 years old. There are many photos of him in this collection. The dimensions are 5 x 3 1/2 inches.
