What's Up. I want to buy a new saddle for my fixie. I currently have a brooks B-17 and love it indeed, but it's time for some change. Anyone know of a stylish to the max, comfortable for long rides, WHITE leather saddle I can purchase.

The B-17 is practically brand new. It's about 50 miles old. I love it. It's stylish and comfy without padded shorts, even on long rides. I know it's suppose to contour to the shape of your bum, so the comfort should increase. I am building a second bike and wanted a white seat. The B-17 will get lots of use also.

Okay just checking. I didnt want you bailing on the B-17 too early.

Bicycle Express in St. Petersburg, FL has cases of NOS White Leather Turbo saddles. He will tell you $140, but my buddy got him down to $60, or $65 and then you'd have to convince him to ship it to you. They're new in the box. Shipping if he's fair should be no more than $15 w/c adds in $5 for "handling."
I don't know where else, except Ebay you'd find one and they're not always on Ebay.

Not if they're priced like the current Swallows.

Definitely the Regal. My friend has one on his NYCBike and has white bar tape. It is crazy stylish. I want one super bad.

Is there anyway to protect the white leather? That's the only thing keeping me from getting one. I'd like mine to stay bright white for a long, long time. Perhaps proofide?

That Regal is exactly what I was thinking when I saw this. Extra points if you find a perforated one.
concor! or maybe a regal.

Specialized Toupee'. It goes for about $160. I've never personally ridden on one but have a very similar one on my bike and love it. I'm buying it soon just because of the color.
I've heard nothing but good things about it as well.
Edit: Nevermind, this is nothing of what you're looking for. My bad.

Selle SLR and SLR XP (more padding) come in white and are as stylish as it gets.
Comfort is questionable. If you like firm saddles one of the two could be for you.
If you like the skinny modern racey look, that is.

Just so you know, richardsachs.com has those Regals in red, white, or blue for $90. What a helpful first post.

Very helpful Jimnasium, Thanks. A white Regal just sold on Ebay for over $160
I like concor supercorsas. And no, you can't have it.

Yeah, I bought a dozen of those ^^^ from Nashbar for $24 each and paid for a new bike selling them on ebay. Some dude in Japan gave me $202 for a perforated one. It was so sweet.

Why has no-one mentioned a white Rolls? Re: protecting the white: Don't ride in blue jeans. or black.

I heard from the grapevine that sitting on a supercorsa is like sitting on a anvil.
Why has no-one mentioned a white Rolls?
I've got one of those, but leather on the nose is all torn up. Probably from being tossed in a trash can full of sharp metal objects where I found the bike it's on. So sad, it's an otherwise seksy lookin saddle.

riding with jeans ain't a big deal - just wipe down with a wet rag and a little soap when it gets too grotty. I think classic fans call the staining "beau sausage"

There are places that re-leather a brooks. A place in town here will do it for $40. I bet they have white leather.

Youve got to be ****ing kidding me, that is a huuuuuuge rip off for that seat
WTF, a pink stem?
no, a pink stem with green polkadots. i don't know what the hell it is, but I'm guessing a custom - 2 pinch bolts, filet brazed steel unchromed. It came with the Cinelli bars that all the kids like to pay $200 for. i nabbed the bar, stem, and the 151bcd pista cranks off a bike my buddies and i parted out. the frame matches that stem - pink w. a green splatterjob. they belong together, but i need the bars + stem.
I'm kinda on the hunt for a Cinelli steel stem, but they're just too damn pricey. just like those elusive white saddles .
mark my words - sometime in the next 2 years, all the italian saddle companies will get their heads out their butts and start reissuing classics. no cutouts, no cheesy tekno-grafiks and embroidery, no carbon. just clean looking saddles in good colors. for the love of big baby jeebus, do i really need to go to italy and rant at them in person?

I have a white Toupe on my street fixed. I love it. Very comfortable and light as well.

Just FYI: judging by the pic that is the saddle made by Velo that gets branded and rebranded to like 100 different names (Well, they do have different paddings and covers to be fair). There's a cromo rail version and a Ti rail version.
I have one with a BBB logo (anatomicdesign). Pretty decent and very light for $30, but not what I'd call comfy.
Edit: sorry, I have a Ti rail Acor now... I sold the BBB earlier, that is also the same thing w/ a diff. cover. They confuse the hell outta me.
