San Marco saddle identification
I decided to post this tread on road cycling since I don't know which subforum is more correct..
Basically I'm interested to buy this saddle, the seller claim he payed it around 160euro and as he said "if I remember correctly the weight must be from 120 to 130grams".
The problem is that i can't find anything related to that saddle. Not the weight, not the price and not even the same aesthetic (since this one hasn't lines at the end). Do not seems even in carbon fiber....
Can anyone help me finding the right model and if the weight claimed is correct even there is the doubt about the materials?


Thanks

Looks like an Aspide model.
ie.. here's mine below, which I paid about $70 for from a UK etailer/

for the weight that the seller is claiming, rails/shell would likely have to be carbon fiber. Hard to tell from the photo, but those rails look round which wouldn't be typical for CF construction.

Kind of looks like like this, which is €160 on San Marco’s website:

EDIT - the above is white, this one is black:

Finally i have the exactly info.
the saddle weigh 200g not 100 as mentioned, also it is not a carbon one but instead is the plastic version with manganese rails. On internet is priced around 66€ plus shipping but i think i got a fair deal since he said to test it before and then if i like it the price is 30euro. I think is fair enough. But sadly i also think he got scammed because the seller told him is the superlight version but it not. Thanks all for infos
