I hate specialized, but they make the best saddles. I'll have a Toupe on my Cannondale until the day they stop making them.

People just hate on Specialized.

MatCartmill 02-24-14 11:58 AM

I've believe gluten has also been responsible for silly lawsuits against small business owners.

Gluten v Johnson was a brutal case and Mr Johnson will likely never recover financially.

I've thought of doing that, but I like aluminum cages too well. Sometimes I like to bring very thin bottles with me for the rest periods in rides and it's nice being able to change the size of the cage. Yes, I'm aware that this being aluminum, it could eventually break them. However, that's something I'm willing to risk. Is there a cage you'd suggest?

Nah, I wasn't hating on Spesh, I just was in horror that you put a different bike brand on your BMC. You MIXED bicycle manufacturers?! Oh, the horror! (Yes, I was joking) I have several friends that would put a Selle or a Fizik or any saddle manufacturer on their bike, but never another bike brand… :lol:

Interesting suggestion. They are inexpensive so it wouldn't really matter much if they broke. They are just ugly that's all. I've heard lots of people on here that like the Elite cages. You can find them most anywhere. My Felt has matching carbon cages that came on it and look ok. Also, my LBS here has several that look good as I'm sure yours does as well. Unless you are a weight weenie, you don't need carbon, they have multiple plastic ones that look just fine. The aluminum ones just look big and clunky, especially on a sleek looking bike.

Neil Pryde. Hot.

zatopek 02-25-14 02:07 PM

That Neil Pryde is extremely hot. It would be hottest of hot if it were mechanical.

Why would mechanical components make it hotter than it already is?

"Selle" is not a saddle manufacturer, you know. There's at least four completely different saddle manufacturers that I can think of off the top of my head which have the word "selle" in their name.
