Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Orange Fizik test saddles?

I've been trying as hard as I can to acquire one of the orange fizik test saddles, but it's next to impossible. No one will sell them (it's their test saddle) and I can't get one anywhere online. Now I come to you my fellow bike forum members, do any of you have a devious ploy with which an individual such as myself could purchase one of the orange saddles of my wildest desires? I think they look so much nicer than their normal saddle, and match my very orange bike....

Thanks in advanced.

Just sign up for the demo saddle, give them your credit card info, and don't return it. They'll charge your card the full cost of the saddle. Of course they'll be pissed, and think you're an ass, but maybe that stuff doesn't matter to you.

They're significantly ugly, those orange saddle,s but whateverfloatsyourboat.

one of those would match my bike quite well, I'll have to keep an eye out for one of those saddles.

That's all I need, competition in finding an impossibly hard to find saddle.

Just messing, but seriously bike forum members, the collective knowledge has nothing??

I can see why you want one, they are sweet. Don't worry though, I don't have any plans to seek one out at the moment.

White bike + that orange saddle = sweet.




Or maybe sweet potato pie, but still...

I was just messing with you anyways, it's a free country for a reason.

On a side note fizik got back to me saying that they don't have any extras and only ship to dealers in sets. Sadness, but the search continues.

Actually black and orange might look pretty cool, not only on Halloween, but anytime.
Black frame, orange saddle, tires, bar tape.
I'm diggin' it (in my mind anyway) - might be a problem though finding a mostly black frame without the manufacturer's logo plastered all over it.
