I have a Day Long for sale. I bought it in fall 2010 and used it on 2 trips in the spring of 2011 before crashing and no longer owning a bike. It has sat in storage ever since.
It is black vinyl and is built both rider and pillon. I am 220lb in riding gear and she was 190lb in riding gear. My inseam is 30" and am 5'10" tall.
The seat was awesome, was able to ride 800 miles w/o problems. Previously it was 800 miles and a lot of monkey butt, couldn't walk.
I'll take some pics tonite and look at a price.
The seat is in perfect condition.

Thanks Bones....
Sorry to hear about the crash. Is your seat for a Gen I bike? I am 6"1 200 with gear, 32 inseam. I am wondering how much difference this makes? I just rode from Vegas to San Francisco and it was painful! Even with Airhawk cushions, definitely in the market. How much are you asking and would you be willing to accept a return if I find that the measurements become a problem? I would of course pay for any shipping Expenses.

Yeah. They feel good for the first 300. Then it starts hurting. Followed the prescribed air reccomendation setup. Tried varying degrees of inflation to find the elusive sweet spot, but it was hard to get comfortable. I do have the air hawk 2, so maybe there is a difference?
From what you read here, the Russell is unbeatable for comfort.

I think the extra 2" inseam would be beneficial as I could have used a little more leg when my feet were down. Not a problem, just a wish. The seat will be fine for your dimensions, I feel. Of course I would accept a return if you're willing to pay. 
Pics are coming, I'm just busy with kid stuff.
