Where's the other half of that saddle? That looks like its 100 mm wide.

To recap again. These are the ones "I" would call HOT.

My dedicated racer. No CF, except fork, so that, when I crash, she won't explode. Love my Colnago C40, Tommasso Super Leggera, Masi Gran Criterium, Torelli Express, Raleigh Super Course and SS bikes but nothing rides quite like this S-Works E5 when I want to thrash with impunity.

How about a vintage Italian frame with a modern Campy drive-train?:

^^ Purty! I really like Nate's Orbea, also.
JRennie, your new bike's not bad, but the Rue was much hotter. I have been eyeing that frame; I don't need it but I sure lust after it.
