Hi!
For the future we have to focus on specific products, right now we mainly produce bicycle saddles and shoes. Our team is slowly growing and custom products are more problematic for us, so we are working on stock products so that we can deliver it in a reasonable time. Any custom product would take us quite long to finish because our production is full for weeks.
We will have some more news soon, also a new website will be presented in a few days (where also our new saddle model Dila will be presented, it is otherwise already available but not yet on our website).
There are a lot of parts in development and hopefully we can put some of them in production in 2019. Custom parts will be slowly replaced by serial products, where our aim is still to make one of the lightest reliable parts on the market, all handmade at our company in Slovenia.
We are happy to announce that our Berk Lupina saddles will be used on Colnago C64 Private Collection bikes:
Cheers!
Jure

Nice.
Love my padded lupina so much that I ordered another one yesterday for another bike.

An odd experience because I have been using the Lupina on two bikes with the oval rails for some time now without issues.Delorre wrote: ↑Mon Jun 25, 2018 1:45 pmBe carefull, at 6nm with a 2 bolt Ritchey seatpost, I got an indent on one of the rails and a light 'crack' sound. Didn't go any further and didn't have any issues with the rail once fitted, but be warned With my last one, I kept it to 5nm. With my sworks saddles, I went to 10 or 12nm without any issues using the same seatpost, so I suspect the Berk rails, even the oval ones rated to 100kg riders, to be a lot less robust than heavier saddles. But you have to save on somthing to reach 70gr
One bike has a Berk ISP and uses the POP top yolks - for that I only torque the seat down with 5 Nm - no issues.
The other bike uses a Ritchey post with a single top plate and I torque the Lupina down to roughly 11 Nm - no issues at all, no complaints from the rails.
Now, I would say that my saddle rails are really balanced fore/aft in the respective clamps, so if your saddle is slammed all the way back or pushed to the front, you might want to consider a different post setback to balance out your weight on the saddle / post.
I am currently at 84 kg and an unpadded 150mm / oval railed Lupina at 74 grams is rock solid under me.
The other Lupina (padded, 150mm wide, oval rails, 104 gm) is as well.
Looking forward to the new website. I have a Lupina 3k gloss and LOVE it. Don't stop doing what you're doing!Berk wrote: ↑Thu Jul 12, 2018 7:50 amHi!

Can I enquire about the UD 300mm Berk seat post weight that supposed to be? As I measured it and the weight is not at my expected level....
我從使用 Tapatalk 的 Pixel 發送I follow Berk's product releases and didn't even know they make seatposts. If there's no official news of this product on their site and this is a custom product, you should be talking to Jure directly instead of posting here.
You're probably trying to hard to up your post count, time to ease up on it.
