Concor Saddle PSA
If you don’t Eroica, you still might be interested in a brand new leather Concor.

Coolish seat, too spendy IMO.
Not a fan of Concors to begin with but like special editions when done well.
They should have reversed the branding, standard Concor on the skirts, contrasting invisa black Eroica on the top.

i Agree about the "Eroica" labei below the tail of the saddle. I guess they might be sponsors for Eroica events. It's very similar when the silkscreen Triathlon" or "Criterium" on some bikes in the 80's.

I still remember the first Concor Supercorsa saddle I bought in the early 80's it had a very fine suede leather cover that was exquisite to look at and feel. I remember feeling bad when the nice suede surface got totally polished off from riding after about a season and a half. I bought a reissue of the same saddle, about ten years ago, and it had a much coarse suede leather cover that felt and looked cheap, in comparison.

My Butt really likes the old Concor shape. In fact, I did swap over a number of Rolls saddles for Concors even though I did like the old Rolls saddles too.

I might have paid the same “high” price 13-14 years ago when they reissued the Concor and I got a White one.

I wondered a couple years ago when Cino in Montana was forced to change their name. why Eroica cared so much.
Then I started adding it up, the amount they make per rider versus the amount they make for merchandise…. Merchandise wins.
I understand the sale of a T-shirt or a jersey, that proves you were there. But the Brooks saddle for the ride raised ann eyebrow, and now they are making deals with a lot of companies.
