I'm really thinking I want some version of this saddle... have you tried it?

does it work like you want it to Tiff?

Yes, and I can't say enough good thing's about it! ;)
It doesn't feel at all like a 135 gram saddle :beer:

It's on sale at Performance for $65. I think retail is $89ish. I went in there because they have their Forte on sale for something like 17 bucks but they didn't have any with setback in stock. I *needed* to ride *today* :D :p so I ended up with this one as I didn't have time to run around! :lol:

Yep. I have the saddle positioned pretty well now. I think I need to tweak the tilt just a hair and all will be good! :D

YEAH!!!! I can't wait for my seatpost to show up... I really want one of those saddles though :rolleyes: ... and some specialized s-works road shoes.... and.... and .....

brooks tend to need a bit of tilt back..i set my saddles up with a level and have found that its best with the nose up just a scoash(i think thats how its spelled...)

Yep, definitely a bit of tilt up. I have it up just a bit too much though. A very small adjustment should be just right. :D

Which one Trac'? I was going to pm you about the Easton you said you won't be needing but I ended up needing one *today*. :p

I have an easton EC90 coming... it was part of the build but it was back-ordered and is supposed to be in sometime this month.... the saddle on the look is SO bulky looking... I want one of those selle italia SLRs real bad..... :p

Yeah, if you needed it quickly, you're better off buying one like ya did... I don't have an exact time anyway ;) How was your ride today?

Just posted about it in Paul's ride thread. :p
I just took of James' Selle Italia... he was letting me test it out. Wasn't too bad actually! Try it...

I picked mine up at Kings, but you can find great deals on them on the Bay :)

I found the that also...seems wierd..but tilted up is more comfy!

Nothing is bulkier looking than the Brooks...but it is damn comfy...

is it the same model that Gretzky just got?

actually I've had pretty good luck w/the saddle I've been using... but I've heard so many good comments about the Selle that I really want to check it out!

new race wheels for the go fast bike.

tubulars to go with my zipp 404 clincher training wheels.

will the madness ever stop?!

Nope! :D

Wow, have fun with your new wheels!

So I guess you like the Zipp's then, eh? A set of 404 clinchers with powertap and now a tubular set. :)

its freakin' killing me! i'm also looking for a track bike AND a fixie. what the f is wrong with me?


i dig the clincher zipps, once they spin up they bike doesn't want to stop. i highly recommend them.
i've never ridden on tubbies before so this will be interesting. i don't even know how to glue tires to them...the lbs is gonna have to teach me this week. :p

That's funny, I'm kinda looking at building up a set of tubular wheels myself (or having it done since I'd break them).

Check these ones out - http://www.lewracing.com/ I'm considering building up a set with the rims they sell since I couldn't afford to buy the built ones they sell. I've held these wheels at the local shop and yes, they do weigh in at just about 900 grams for the set.

Jeebus, man!

here's a tip about tubulars with hidden nipples, if the wheel becomes out of true you have to remove the tire and all the glue to re-true it. PITA.
are the spokes j-bend or straight-pull at the hubs?

i'm sick, i tell ya...

I have no idea, I didn't pay too close attention, when they handed me the wheels and told me how much they cost and they weighed so little I didn't want to look at them too long, I was worried I'd break them somehow. :o

The guy who owns them asked if I wanted to try them.

"Um, no, they cost 5500 dollars."

"No worries, I got the no questioned asked replacement warranty for 4 years."

"Um, no, they cost 5500 dollars."
