"Custom" Anti-Theft saddle
maybe old news, but a bit interesting. Easier than taking entire saddle/post with you.

We'll probably be adding this to the list of things to check when dealing with mysterious creaks and clicks.

But then again, the market is obviously the urban commuter crowd, so the appeal is definitely outside my wheelhouse. I rode by a lady on an old step-through frame bike, whose drivetrain was making so much noise I could hear it from 200 feet away.

Might be kinda uncomfortable riding if you forget the top.

You mean you can just flip a switch on the bottom and steal the saddle top?
I believe a thief could easily ride away without the saddle top on, then just replace with a previously stolen saddle top.
I don't understand....

Um, no. The hipsterish intro was the first indication the product probably isn't right for me -- "Davide is an artist" (yep, that's David with an 'e'). Ugh.
Squeaking rattle gadget in less than a month is my guess. But of course, YMMV!
