HI OFG ,
like the one above in my first post , but with Longer & wider stripes !
here is another one




this was just sent over by a friend .he found it on ebay in the USA .
i cant seem to find them !?

but at the rear of the saddel the color bands are wide .
now if they were that way from the rear to the nose then that is what i am looking for . i have seen them .
another firend has the exact one i am looking for . its called the prolog worlds of something to that affect .
and has diagonaly color bands from nose to rear !!

we will get to the bottom of this .

here is the saddle that yet another friend is sporting



if you look at the colors behind the colnago logo . now envision those colors where the italian colors are. that would be 100% what i am looking for .
i saw a guy last summer on a popular cycling route that had one of the saddels im talking about . but i never had the chance to chat with him , he just went "whizzzing" by !

Timo, if it's for a Meckx, I understand. I just saw the new EM 5 in Bicycle Guide. Great looking bike and price is not bad at all......

No, sir, I passed on the Carbon. It wasn't an Ironman, and I know nothing about that model, at all, other than the model name appears to be "Carbon." I was going to try the Live.com approach to the Buy It Now, just to see if I could get it for $220 or so and part it out, then see what I could do.
I hope the buyer has some time and is able to find the right parts, whatever they are.

Rob
