Also, I do own a new Turbo I'm not gonna put a Charge Bucket on Italian steel.
My point is, why bother with reissuing the 1A, when not too many people are looking for it anymore. Like I noted, maybe the 1R would be easier to sell in bigger volume, which you would think would make more business sense for Cinelli. I also bought a reissued saddle, A Concor Supercorsa. But from the looks of it, many of the bike shops in the area have a lot of stock of the reissued saddles unsold and languishing on their racks. Lots of Turbos, especially, even at their very low retail price. I think most C&Vers that would buy the reissued saddles have bought what they wanted already, so they are mostly ignored on the store displays these days.
