Just bought this saddle from total cycling. It cost 45$+15$ shipping so it was about 60$. Anyone ride this saddle?

usually u ask this question before u purchase.... why dont u wait for it to come, mount it on ur bike, ride it...and THEN let us know.
well the reason i got it was because my saddle now is tearing, i ride my friends super comfy, and it was way more cheap then my lbs at 110$ so i think it was a good deal, i'm stoked to get it

I don't get why you asked if anyone rode one in your OP.

it's a fine saddle, i like it
saddles are subjective, a lot of people will like them, a lot of people will hate them
ride whatever is comfortable

I ride the cheapest San Marco saddle on nashbar.com.. it was $14.95 I think. It works fine for me, looks / rides pretty good, I actually had a thread on here cause I had no idea how to put it on.

I have a black rolls, it's a fine saddle. It's not currently on any of my bikes but I have used it alot in the past for a temporary saddle. On some bike setups it looks perfect atmo.
where did you get your rolls from?

I thought that nightmare was over_until now. It's kassebaum from the twilight zone.

alot of rolls hatin' in this thread.
I've shopped around lately for a new one and the cheapest i've found is 60 shipped on ebay.
anybody got anything cheaper with shipping included? i know europeon online sites have em for like 30 but the shipping kills you.
Liking my Rolls so far. Been on it for about a month. Picked it up from PBK for $35US w/ free shipping. Sold out right now, so its kind of a moot point, but they do tend to restock every now and then.

Gotta say I like Rolls' the best too. I got an old perforated one from the 80's on my Alien... it's better than my Turbomatic II, way better than my Turbo, and I think even better than my Fizik Arione. Even for a "heavy" 370g, some pros still prefer the Rolls over lighter, more modern options.
I still gotta try out this 90's TI Flite to see if I like it better...

I have that saddle on my road bike, it is practically perfect. Amazingly comfortable.

how do you get free shipping?
Cool. I guess they restocked then. :thumb: They tend to go pretty fast, at least they did the last time they had them in stock and sold out within a couple days.

Their saddle prices do seem really low. I was wondering the same thing. Anyone know?

total cycling is legit. the prices are so low right now because of the conversion rate.

Mines on my kilo if your buns want a spin on one.

They are legit, I have one I bought from one of those sites and it is stamped San Marco and has a seal on it (sticker) as well as a legit box and owners manual.

i think it automatically comes with free shipping, just don't select priority. i chose to ship it priority just in case b/c i'm moving soon
Great saddle. Bradley Wiggins still uses one on his track bike.
