I have a set of Velo racing seats i'm looking to get rid of for a set of more comfortable/adjustable seats. There great if your racing regularly but, not so much on long trips. What have you got in yours at the moment?
Any help with suppliers of comfortable/adjustable racing seat suppliers in Vic region would be greatly appreciated.

May be best to make your own rails to suit your seat. You can design then have it fabricated to suit.
Chances are, your seat will fit behind the front mounting bracket while still being able to reach your pedals. If this is the case, you will be able to lower the seat without issue of effecting your pedal operation.

Revolution Racegear have plenty of seats to test. Make sure you allow enough head room for your helmet.
If your over 5'8", you will need to lower the seat for clearance.

Stock rails will not suit aftermarket seats, at best you can cut the mounting brackets off to use on aftermarket rails but I wouldn't recommend it.
Bride and Recaro rails are readily available for SW20's, plus others and also custom made ones as well.
Seats would be a personal preference thing IMO, try out as many as you can and see what's comfortable and suits your height/size.
