It's been a couple days now, and the OP could've easily answered your question (as well as mine) -- or simply provided such info in his initial post. The reason he's not been back is not hostility, but rather the likely fact that the whole thing is fabricated. His post describes a failure that I can't even envision with
any saddle: "
the rails broke and the saddle fell off." Think about it -- he's claiming that both rails broke simultaneously, and each rail would have to have separated from each end (fore and aft) of the saddle -- all at once. Ever heard of that happening? Yeah, me neither.
Oh, and RiceAWay has a history of anti-cf posts; do you really think a person who regularly rants against cf bikes would own a cf saddle?
Again, I'm happy to be proved wrong. All it will take is a photo of this miraculous saddle failure.
