latest and greatest. Generally, we have them all in stock.

San
Marco Zoncolan, 2009 ~
San Marco's new top-of-the-line race saddle received rave reviews for styling
and initial comfort. But will it prove itself worthy of a top spot after the
honeymoon is over? Kyle and our staff are testing it now and we'll post our
findings after a few hundred miles.
Selle
Italia SLC Carbonio Gel Flow, 2008 ~
Center cutout extends through rear of saddle for extra protection in the
sensitive prostate area. The superlight base is made of a combination of
Nylon-Rylsan and carbon fiber which is then wrapped in rich leather over gel and
trimmed with carbon. It's all mounted on carbon fiber rails for a total weight
of just 210 grams. Color is black.
Selle
Italia Signo Gel Flow, 2008 ~
"Lorica", a rich and durable synthetic leather over three different gel
inserts and a base of Nylon-Rylsan. The rails are made of hollow Vanox
mounted to polymer shock absorbers. Unique to the Signo, the rails are separated
from the tail of the saddle. So, the tail can move smoothly with each pedaling
action. The result is a more efficient pedal stroke combined with added shock
absorption and comfort. Weight is 225 grams. Color is black.

Blackwell
Flow ~
Specifically designed for triathlon and time trial bikes, this saddle is made
extra narrow in the rear. The Blackwell Research staff found that wider seats
push the rider forward on aero bars putting pressure on the hamstrings that can
lead to lower back strain. This one model is designed to work equally well for
men and women. Color is black.

saddle rails, the companies no longer warranty against
rail breakage. We have experienced only a very few
broken rails, including crash damage. But be advised, there is no warranty
even for rails that break under normal use.
