I have recently been given a second-hand Strida. It had been sitting in a shed for several years and needs a little TLC. I took it for a short test-ride and unfortunately there was a loud ‘crack’ and the plastic seat mount/bracket had snapped. Can anyone advise me what the part is officially called (that is, the plastic sleeve/bracket that goes around the frame and supports the saddle), and where I might buy a replacement? Many thanks, LisaC
Hi Lisa,
you’re looking - most likely - for the (elder) plastic seat molding.
It’s part 322 at page 14 of this document;
Strida manual,
could you affirm that?
And you’re sure that the rod, called seat pin, part nr.378 (or 326-03) is intact?
It must not be bent 
May I ask from which part of the globe you are?
Kind regards,
Chris
Hi Lisa, I can help you a with either the standard seat mount or the newer Quick Release seat mount. stridacanada.ca/?product=quick-r … at-molding
I think both will fit. I don’t have the standard mount on the website but I can add it if you contact me.
Kind Regards, Bill Wilby
Hi Chris and Bill,
Thanks very much for your help.
Yes, it’s part 322 that’s cracked - but I’ll need to check the seat pin too, as I don’t know if that’s bent or not. I’ll check and report back.
Thanks also for the manual - very useful.
I’m in NE Scotland - but happy to order from anywhere that’ll supply me the parts!
Best wishes,
Lisa
Hi Lisa,
you’re welcome
Fine, please check and tell us what you need, you’re more safe buying at Bill because I’m just a private. I couldn’t even say that the shipping would be faster inside of Europe 
Short explanation for the seat pin: It is essential for preventing the seat of slipping (and turning) along the seat tube. But it is also very important that the clamps are tight; the seat pin alone can’t withstand the riders weight.
Best regards,
Chris
