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..

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

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

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...

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.

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.
