the ‘slight’


the ‘segal’


the ‘sturbo’

I’m generally a fan of repro of stuff that’s no longer in production, but this seems a little over the top (especially because all of these are supposed to be back in production soon if not now). Discuss. :colbert:

TABO!

The Regal is still in production too. I would sue the fuck out of those fucks.

Presumably Soma has lawyers and thought this through…

Sorry, I’m going to be an asshole and ask why “e.g.”?

I know what it means, I’m just… confused… my brain is mush don’t mind me.

“Synthetic leather cover”

I wonder how durable that really is.

But duuuuuuuude. They’re vegan (maybe).

Wow. The names are awful, and the Flite knockoff looks like shit.

My thoughts exactly. As soon as Im done posting this Im going to buy one of those 3 saddles before there is a lawsuit. Thanks Soma.

14

you forgot the Crooks!

15

If they are cheap I might get a couple for testing upon the tandem.

The segal looks ok. The others both look too wide at the tail. I wouldn’t expect any of them to stand up over the long term or be comfortable for long rides. They could be good, simple saddles for beaters and townie bikes. Simple saddles that are not shitty quality are kind of hard to find.

My go-to beater saddle is the ever present late 80’s vetta. I have em on 2 of my bikes, incredibly comfortable and easily found for 5 dollars or free off old bikes.

That’s supposed to be a Flite? Looks more like a Concor Light.

ps Those kinda suck. As a fan of both Turbos and Regals I’m a little offended.
