What leather you use on saddle and what kind of warratly you have for it? Still looking perfect saddle and that leather + foam saddle looks good.

Hi, first of all thanks for the compliments! And sorry for my long silence, recently I'm very busy, basicly all day long at the company working on different projects.

Just want to let you know that we added more options for the carbon look, a lot of request for custom carbon look in UD, twill, plain etc., so we added that option. In some cases it might take a bit longer that it's ready to ship (if it's not in stock it can take around 3-5 work days to finish it).

Here just two more photos of a special edition saddle, made with innegra/carbon hybrid fabric

Otherwise a lot of interesting things in process and as soon as I have a bit more time I'll keep you updated, at this moment a lot of work and I don't want to face with too big delays, sometimes it might take a bit longer than expected to finish a custom product, but we give our best

the current euro / USD exchange is making this crazy tempting to pick up a saddle from you :)

Hi there, please can you tell me why it's cheaper to buy your saddles from another outlet than buying direct from your store, surely it would be cheaper cutting out the middle man. Looking to make a purchase and I can get one delivered to OZ for €240. Cheers.

Hi,
unfortunately no update yet for the bottle cages, still some small changes to do that we will be 100% happy with it.

But I can share a photo with you, it's already a few months old, but I decided that I'll slowly publish what we are working on. In the past few months most of my time was dedicated to the monocoque wheel development. We manage to construct it as a one piece product, so no gluing or any sort of bonding. The wheel comes out of the moulds just as on this photo (of course the edges aren't trimmed yet, it's only one of prototypes):
Image
So it is completely monocoque, also the spokes and hub. And because the monocoque structure the wheel is perfectly straight, as precise as the mould. Right now working on the rear wheel and in the next few weeks I should have some more news for you. We are also testing something new for the brake track,... I'll keep you updated

Is it a wheel that could be used in a UCI race you think?

Me approve, one wheel in a process is a good idea as you can optimise the fibre direction as you want, bonding together separate parts is always a compromise.
