Hey guys thanks alot for posting all your BEAUTIFUL bikes!!
I originally thought this saddle looked a little funny when i saw it by itself. It's definitely different form the traditional saddle in terms of shape. the rear end slopes up more and the sides are longer vertically.
But you've all convinced me to use this on my friends build that i'm building up for him. He's definitely going to enjoy it judging from the replies and amount of beautiful high end bikes that i've seen them on now.
Keep posting pictures, i like seeing them!!

Just ordered a white Concor from PBK, with matching bar tape and free shipping for CA$80.
BTW, thanks to the OP and everybody that posted their bikes with this saddle. Been deciding what to get for my bike and this thread was perfect.

This one that I got new in 1979 is getting worn. But the good news is I discovered that recovering these is completely do-able if you're patient. I used some leather that I scored from an upholstery shop.

Nice topic, some really beautiful bikes and saddles.
I have the Concor Laser-version on my Concorde. It first came with one in faded Team PDM-colours and slightly worn out:
The lycra also didn't sit too well so I sold it.
After some consideration and testing out some other saddles, I stumbled on this leather perforated one:
It took me a while to adjust to it (it felt very different from other saddles the first time I rode it) but it has now become my favorite saddle by far.

IIRC, San Marco did issue a new perforated Supercorsa this year though.

I think I am going to swap the white one onto the De Rosa and put the black one on the Merckx but, for now, here is how they look

For me personally, the Concor seem to looks best in black, while the Turbo looks best to me in white and perforated.

Ok - I'll throw myself out there as having the nastiest. I agree the black would look so much better but this came on a bike that cost me $37. I washed it up and ride it a fair amount so it looks very used.

Couldn't think of any other saddle to mount on my Bottechia Chorus SL...... I think it's just perfect for the bike.
My other two Italian bikes have Rolls saddles on them.....But I always had a bike with a Concor Suprcorsa on it since I bought my first one in the early 80's

Not my all time favorite, but I managed to ride it on my Lambert up to Hurricane Ridge. Bike looks completely different now, and the saddle has hung above my workbench for years; maybe I should give it another try?

Question: has anyone removed the rear Concor logo to install in another? Or does anyone do reproduction Concor decals? It looks like it may be able to be prized out, but I don’t want to ruin it.
