Beautiful, but not vulgur at all... more like high-zoot.

RyanH wrote:KCookie, I'll do a full review of the Berk saddle next week since I'll be doing a century one of the days. However, I have about 200 miles on it so far(last Sat/Sun were only 50 mi each). My initial impression is that it's the most comfortable saddle I've been on.

After getting a bike fit two months ago which identified that my hips were rocking since my Tune saddle was too narrow for me, I went through a handful of saddles: Fizik Antares 00, Spec Power Saddle, Spec Toupe and the Mcfk. There's a lot of flex to this saddle, so the comfort is very high. Again, I'll post my impressions after my Wed century.

Cheers, much appreciated. I agree its the best saddle so far that I've tried, but that 3mm of padding could make some difference. Look forward to the review. !!

Sony A7 with a manual focus Canon FD 50mm 1.4 lens.

Most were shot wide open and are unaltered preview jpgs since I'm lazy.

Well, Prendrefeu, I think the question here is, what is high-zoo if this C59 is considered vulgar by Ryan.....

Sexy build.... probably one of the nicest C59's I've seen yet...

same size as RyanH's bike, a 52S right? It is now gone. I am back on a C59 myself.

But this is about RyanH's sick creation for which he is shooting for 12.5 pounds or 5.68 kg.

And having tried to get here myself (or around about), it is not easy.

Especially with a power meter and without using some mental light wheels like AX Lightness with Record tubulars.

As LionelB once pointed out, it is about the same as making a light frame bike 5.2 kg.

Really looking forward to images of the whole bike!
