Its made byTop Sellerie of France.   Blood Bikes posted the ad he found on Gumtree so I had to buy it...... Not managed to ride out on it yet but it certainly looks and feels better than the stock seat!

Theyre priced in Euros not Aussie dollars.  Current exchange rate €1 Eur = $1.47 AUD

Yes it's a bit but not the $1000 that some manufactures want.

212 Euros for the seat plus 130 Euros for delivery converts to $503 Aussie dollars, delivered to your door.    Not a bad price, so we are all hanging out to hear how it scrubs up on a long ride.

I wonder if they would offer a discount if they received multiple orders from OzSTOC. Those wanting one combine together to place an order.

Worth thinking about....
