So… this NEON green turbo showed up in the mail today.  
Its not my favorite by any means, but it’s so intensely neon its both nice & painful to look at.

Speaking of saddles, anyone know where I can get a Soma Kamisori in white? I made the mistake of buying the Soma Ensho instead of waiting for the Kamisori. Pretty much to most uncomfortable saddle I own.

Are they finally available from them!? I check their site weekly and they’ve been sold out for months. I wish they wouldn’t price that saddle so ridiculously. It’s a Velo that everyone else has for $25. But I guess colors other than black carry a premium…

I’ve had two cool saddles pass through my way, a white Turbo and a champagne NJS Kashimax Aero (padded and covered version, not the BMX one). I’m excited to try out a black Flite, I really dig the way they look. It might get passed on too, idk.

Why is it that most saddles are so hideous?

Speaking of saddles, I’ve got a San Marco Rolls that’s reasonably new, but so far it’s uncomfortable as hell. Do these things break in, or is it just not the right saddle for me? Weird question I know…

Give it a little bit. If it’s just not working after a month at the most, try something else.
