non-fixie I love those butchered saddles too - as much for their minimalism and panache as for the rough authenticity they exude. Some guy made those things, with a hammer and a knife, in a poorly-lit, dirty shop somewhere in Europe, and by some miracle they have found their way to us. I've never seen one for sale, the only reason I even found mine is because it came on an old French frame I bought.
