Which one is the best choice

hxzero

I don't know. I personally think the Concor is the best looking, but it might not be the most comfortable for you. Is there a way that you can try the three?

turbo ftw!!

the SAn Marco Regal and Brooks are also fixie-approved saddles, you might consider those too.

I like my Rolls. I just did a 35 mile ride on it for the first time and it was comfy for the first 20 miles, then after that it started to hurt. But I think that had to do more with the fact that I had a 5lb book bag on my back.

if it's the saddles i think he's thinking about...he'll need a time machine to try* all 3 out

i have a san marco regal on my FTP

i had a selle turbo special edition on my nagasawa (which i still have even though i sold the bike)

and i've sat on a concor...

imho the turbo was the most comfortable as it had the most padding out of the 3, but a concor supercorse looks really killer imho.

Yeah i'm leaning towards the turbo from benscycle, that site is legit right?

i had a pleasant experience with benscycle...my order came in quickly too

Concor are my all time favorite saddles, it just suxs to find them cheap now.

139 for a turbo saddle EEK!

here is mine on my naga, passed down from my dad's old race bike from the 80s

if you like the turbo, chances are you won't care for the rolls. i found it (turbo) to be too big and squishy in the middle. the concor has a more curvaceous shape than the other two; rolls is more rounded in section whereas the turbo is a bit flatter (depending on the subtype).

I've noticed a lot of classic saddles on eBay lately going for big bucks. Personally, I'm a huge fan of the classic Selle Italia Flite Ti.

Bens is awesome.

139 is that too steep you think?

Concor's are sexy.. I like the look of it, and its comfortable.. you can find them often on ebay.

140$ is ALOT for a nos saddle....

even nos concors (black) on ebay were around 100$ish...white ones are more expensive...

i've seen lightly used turbos for like 60 or less

my white san marco regal was around $60 off a forum with little wear.

unless u really want a NOS saddle...i would pay 140$ on a turbo

Dyoon

I saw a turbo on ebay for $100 NOS. It seems like a good deal, I haven't bought something from ebay in like 5 years should I be worried about fraud or knockoff seats, or am I being paranoid?

Here's a couple I was watching on eBay:

Concor Super Corsa in white for $137.50

Concor Super Corsa in blue suede for $152.50

i mean i guess it's a fair concern, but u should look at the sellers' feedback and the past items they've sold. if they are a gold store and are now selling saddles, i'd be concerned

Dyoon

How the f did you find these? I searched for concors and didn't see either of these.

caloso

I can't remember. I think I just typed in Selle San Marco Concor.

I've got a special up on ebay right now - really low reserve, and it's mint.

Also a NOS Rolls - they feel the same to me, although one difference I noticed is the rolls has its widest point a bit forward from the rear of the seat. The Turbos have the full width all the way at the rear.

I always preferred the Turbos (and the Turbo Specials over the plain turbos) over the Rolls for that reason - I like to jam my butt all the way back as far as possible when climbing.

Having said that I think San Marcos overall look to have much better build quality than Selle Italias. Though I rode one Turbo Special for 15 years and it was still going strong; only the padding started to get too soft for me...not bad for 15 years! (I'm over 200 pounds, too). So maybe just a visual fit and finish thing San Marco does better?

I also have a Regal Ti (NOS) and a gently used mid 80s suede SuperCorsa Concor I may throw up in the next week or two...I've gone to Brooks on my Bikes so kinda need to make room and raise dough to pay for 'em (Brooks are nice, but EXPENSIVE!)

if you look around hard enough, you can find a Concor for decent (mine for about $34, with $5 shipping)...mine doesn't have the Concor branding anywhere on it, but the styling and shape is exactly the same, it just says "Triathlon" on the side:
