Black brooks pro to match the bar tape!

Ritchey Streem or Marathon Comp V2. Two of my favorites, available in white or black.

Have one on the Tiara and a black one on the TS III, I really like them, logo free, and reasonably unmodern looking. Nice leather cover too.

Here it is on the Tiara, I think it's a nice saddle for $40-50....and no modern logos :)

Dunno. It's pretty hard to pick a saddle for someone else. I'm personally a big fan of Concors but I agree that yours looks a tad nose-high.

Nose high, yes...... I leveled it off and have tried a bunch of of different adjustments, but it just don't feel very good. I may be spoiled by Brooks saddles.

I like Gyes saddles. At least the look anyway. Never sat on one.

I'm afraid to say yes it looks close. I ride a 58 to 60. I'm just a sucker for white saddles and tape.

I gotta agree. but a white one of course. it'll make it look even faster

LesterOfPuppets 02-18-11 12:47 AM

Hmmm, I kinda think that bar tape needs to go white if the saddle's gonna be white. Or maybe someone makes a navy bar tape that would be even better.

If it were my bike and I was gonna run tan sidewall tires all the time, I'd likely get some Tan bar tape and a tan Charge Spoon CrMo saddle or a Brooks honey saddle of some sort if I was a big spender.

Or red, with red tape. Like so. The thing is, if the OP doesn't like the Concor I have a feeling he won't like a Flite either. That's just a hunch though.

I have tried two or three Gyes made saddles. They are not Brooks quality and I do not recommend them as a subsitition for a Brooks (or vintage Ideale).
