New San Marco Rolls Saddle
Does the San Marco Rolls need any special preperation before installation like Brooks Saddles?
Thanks, Gary |
Nope. Fit, adjust and ride.

Brooks saddles are pretty much unique in that respect afaik....

The "new" new Rolls saddles have a synthetic cover. The "Vintage" Rolls, the ones with "Vintage" on the box are leather. I've never had a problem with the leather cracking, but I store my bike indoors and rarely ride in the rain. I went ahead and applied a coat of Obenauf's (the best, end of conversation) wax to my leather versions.

The one with the steel rails are covered with the synthetic material called Lorica, while the titanium rail Rolls are covered with leather.

Received the San Marco Rolls and on the box it says: "Vintage 1935 San Marco". On the end of the box it says:
Rolls 147x278 mm 340gr Cover: Black Printed Leather Thanks for everyones responses Gary |
