1000 pound saddle???????????????????

[fagin]

On drugs, or am I missing the point.

Must be really rare, except either vendor has two for sale, or is selling the same one twice, once on auction, once bin.

Either way too rich, and ugly for me.

Interesting - the ad says only 5 were made and this guy looks like he got 40% of their production. (2 )

Maybe the price is that high because of the gold seat clamp? It doesn't say if it's anodized or if that's real gold plate but I'd hope it was real to even approximate what he's looking to get for it.

He's probably only got one but is using the £1000 auction as a 'big up' auction, ie people see that and see the other at £150 and think 'ooo, thats cheap compared to that one, I'll get me some of that'

Nasty and very over priced

Nope seat clamp is alloy

Another designer cash-in aimed at hipster sh!te.
Strip off all that padded crap and Aeros are nice saddles.

Ooohh bargain! I'll take two :roll: :roll:

Who does he think would pay that? :?

 

[fagin]

Someone's bid up to $170 (must find out how to change that to a pound) - can get a whole decent bike for that, wouldn't be as ugly neither.

Sold for 365.65!!!!!!!!
The bin is still available for a grand - wonder what would happen if someone bid on it?

I liked it, saying that, my mental age is akin to a four year olds who like bright colours.
