Can’t rule it out though. Like with the 1%er bikers who loved the SS logo for the shock value and weren’t exactly goose-stepping Nazis but also definitely did not enjoy the company of people of color

Time for a group watch party?

Bridgestone MB-4, $200 near me

Ideale 90 with aluminum alloy rails and seatpost. $55

I seem to recall these being sought-after, back in the heyday of the fop chariot?

edit: this is close enough to me that I could probably pursue it if worthwhile.

You can buy new ones for $300 with standard rails. I think @JUGE_FREDD got one.

I’ve been curious but I don’t really want an old one

could you try for it?

that’s a really good price and condition, people always want crazy money for mediocre examples like French Ideale #90 Bicycle Saddle | eBay or IDEALE 90 LEATHER BICYCLE ROAD SADDLE VINTAGE ALLOY flat rails USED w/27.2post | eBay

Zoomed in to see if this was actually threadless and then noticed the incredible cable routing
