Did Tioga make any lightweight saddles with Titanium rails?

Also are there any Tioga saddles which are actually comfortable?. :)

I remember seeing a large Tioga saddle with a white logo and stripe on it, these were common factory saddles on some low/mid-end slalom bikes many years ago. Sorry, I have very little information on it.

Tioga are rarely mentioned in mountain biking, they're more BMX oriented nowadays.

Spyder. There were a couple of versions. They're not cheap.

They still do make the spider. 3 models IIRC.

In the mid-00s they had a full range of products. Handlebars, stems, seat posts, seats, tyres, etc etc.

thats a nice picture Eck.

Also I've seen those spider saddles, but have heard they are very uncomfortable.



Currently have a Tioga fitted to the Aplinestars :)
