frame.... that will determine the rest of the mix of parts, like using a cottered crankset or square tapered alloy. anyone have any pics? don
You could take the frame and a SP to a shop that has them in stock and mock it up. We have a couple of shops that have saddle libraries that you can check out a saddle to try. I think it will depend on the version, all black may be to sleek, the one with the organic/natural? under layer may be the one you want. I have one around here, not sure where.
Edit; looks like the 19 doesn't come in natural, only the 17 and even more spendy.
