USD$600+ and Up for a Bike Seat
 

I thought when i bought my $450.00 SMP Seats a few years ago that was insane and now I see seats selling for as much as USD$800.00 Has to be "JUST BECAUSE" I want it as not sure what a 600-800 dollar seat provides..:)

Are you talking about the custom printed saddles? Come on - show us a (sideways ;)) pic with 17 of 'em, still in the box.

In blue...
 

My friend the PorscheMogul has some of those $450 Specialized saddles and says they are quite comfy.

I’d really like to try one of those. Not sure I could pull the trigger.

Oh, snap.

Admittedly, he had it slammed too far forward. But still .....

If you're gonna spend that kind of money at least call it a "saddle".

Thank you for letting us know you want an incredibly expensive saddle just because.
It has been noted.

By the way, welcome back. I hope this means you recovered from that horrific Raccoon Crash.

Thanks and yes its been just over a year since it happened and all good here. The only thing that lingered on for awhile was the vertigo and it also finally all went away about 6 months or so... Its also now 7 years since my nasty crash on a set of RR Tracks that I escaped without surgery or hip replacement..:) Were good and just hold my breath every time I head out daily on my plastic beater...

well you are very welcome..:)

I will correct that just for you..!

I'm gonna go squat on the PinarelloMogul user name and wait to sell to the highest bidder. :innocent:





:p

Probably already scooped up by sellers on Alibaba

are these expensive bike seats actually comfy?

There is no cushion at all and quite rigid but dont really notice it to much in my small 25-40 miles a day..

I saw your comment & I chuckled, this guy loves to flex all his stuff on The Rolex Forum.

GIANT..? ok sure and I bet sporting a stainless flipper @ MSRP too..?

My SMP Stratos saddles cost about $250 each. That’s the most I've ever paid, but they're the most comfortable I've ever owned.

You're right all steel Rolex's at MSRP. By the way I upgraded to Giant Revolt Pro 1 I hope that passes the flex test.. I only got into cycling last year, so give me a chance to catch up.

My amazing timepiece is lightweight compared to that boat anchor.

Just like with bicycles, plastic > steel.

Likely keeps better time.

No question a digital quartz keeps better time than an analog watch. The atomic clock ones go one better on time keeping and are hard to beat outside of an atomic clock itself.
