My most interesting saddle, I think, because of the proprietary micro adjust seatpost that came with it.
It is part of a current Trek 5500 OCLV build I am doing right now that unfortunately was delayed by a change of jobs that happened last year. Hoping to finally finish it this year when I find and acquire the right DA drivetrain for the frameset.

My favorite:
Turbomatic titanium
Turbomatic 2 (most comfortable saddle EVER (for me).
Turbomatic 3 - still comfortable but quite firm.

Ha! I took this picture at the 1st Cino I participated in.
Not sure who's it was but it stood out. Cino in it's own way..
I do like looking at certain parts of a persons' bike because they reveal something about their owners.
Stem height, handlebars, brake lever placement and saddles tell a story about their owner.

Just picked this one up on eBay. This is the seller's photo. It is for my white 1988 Lemond Pro.

VO Model 6 & Brooks Imperial B-17
both honey colours.
The quality and craftmanship on the Model 6 is far superior than the Brooks, in my opinion.

Mine’s sprung a couple ways, and pretty darn comfy. It’s branded Del Sol on the vinyl, and Velo on the plastic underbelly. Picked this up for $20 at a bike shop, obviously a new bike take-off. 😎
