None of the more popular brands (e.g. fi'zi:k) seem to offer one? I'm after a modern style one not a Brooks or similar. Matching tape would also be a bonus. _________________ BMC SLR02 @ 7kg "Campagnolo; because I ride a bicycle, not a fishing rod" Last edited by Devon on Mon Jul 08, 2013 10:13 am, edited 1 time in total.

I believe he put it on a titanium bike (Passoni?). _________________ My Renovo R1 wooden bike project and the reason for my passion for all that is wood.

It had perforated tan leather. _________________ My Renovo R1 wooden bike project and the reason for my passion for all that is wood.

Do you have a name or contact for the Ivybridge saddle maker? _________________ BMC SLR02 @ 7kg "Campagnolo; because I ride a bicycle, not a fishing rod"

And that was from the Google link. Oh to add, this might not be popular, but I'm pretty sure most people would consider this to be a pretty sexy saddle in leather. *again, its with Google search*

Got me the leather version and tried hard to love it, but my preference is not with flat saddles. If you like the Spoon above, chances are it's similar for you. SSM Aspide and (soon) Regale for me. _________________ Bikes: Raw Ti, 650b flatbar CX
