Great find! I thought my eBay saddle for around $30US (IIRC) was a good deal. I gotta start checking flea markets & such.

Until today, I only rode road bikes and commuted to work. But I needed to keep up with my friends who had transitioned to MTB. So I bought this bike on ebay and baptized it today on my first ever MTB ride. This is a crazy sport, so many challenges and skills to learn, so much fun to bomb down the single track!

If you stare at it long enough to see past the pink glare, you see some rigid 1x? goodness.
