Does anyplace sell Hamax bike seats?

According to their web site, they are not imported into the US. (When I look for a list of distributors, I see none in the US.) Often that means that there’s some safety standard in the US that they do not meet for one of many reasons. it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re not safe. The process for certification in the US can be expensive, so some manufacturers think twice before selling products in the colonies.

That said, I did find an Amazon review about a bike seat called the Discovery 101 that says that it is the same thing as the Hamax, only under a different name. Though it looks similar, it doesn’t look like exactly the same thing. Additionally, the Discovery 101 is not available on Amazon.

I hope that’s helpful.

Google shows some UK based stores that sell it. They’re usually willing to ship to the US. Though shipping may be more than your part.

Have you looked at ebay?

Thanks for the great ideas! I wrote to the manufacturer, but didn’t think of writing to the UK distributor, so I’ll try that. And eBay. I hate to get a whole new seat when just one little part is missing. I have rigged something up, but I don’t feel entirely confident especially with the preciousness of the cargo

You should bring that precious cargo to the Kidical Mass ride on Sunday (Quincy Park –> Rocklands BBQ; meet 10:30am near the playground). Kidicalmassarl.blogspot.com

I saw that on here and that was actually my inspiration to get the seat sorted out, but obviously that’s not happening by Sunday. If we can think of a way to make it work, we’ll be there.

I wish I had an extra to lend. I should by the July ride (Sunday 7/21): Spraygrounds!
