do me a favor and find out what model the saddle is and post it. "low profile" sounds like just what i need.
Rims, spokes, frame tubes, etc - can't believe I completely forgot to get an aero saddle. Bet that'll take some time off my next ITT!

I remember there was a thread back a while ago about a Japanese guy (i think) with a crazy awesome road bike. He had a Campy left brake with Shimano on the right, and he changed front gears with a stick. His wheels were hilarious as well, I don't remember specifics. Anyone got a link?
