Saddles?
Hi all
I got a Selle italia Flite Transalp saddle that dates back to 1994. The saddle is in new condition and i was wondering if its worth to ditch the existing specialized bg saddle on my rockhopper 2003 for this titanium saddle that i have.I believe that the classic Flite design remained unchanged through the years right? I mean the new Classic Flite Titanium is much the same with the old one i have. Any ideas?

Saddles are very personal items. Each rider has a favorite. Go for it. If you are used to the saddle, swap it out. It's an easy change out, so why not!

Check out https://www.big-wheel.com
I bought the speed V there along with 3 other things, all of which were at the lowest price i could find. The saddle was the only thing i bought that i wasn't sure if i got the lowest price because there are 2 other models with the same name and priced differently, and i'm not sure which one i got. But the price was as low as i've seen on any Speed V, so it's at least as good as anywhere if not better.
