1989 Brodie climbMax - finished page 5/6

I found this - quite expensive but nos and allegedly 215g - https://www.bricklanebikes.co.uk/selle-italia-turbo-lite-saddle-white

I think there were (at least) 2 versions of the Lite and a quick Google suggest one of them was around 215g

@ibbz, get a white Turbo on the Venturi!

You know it deserves it.

Perforated, ideally.

And @raidan73 I love any updates to this thread, as you know. This might be a Top 5 bike on here for me. Something just so right about it. Workhorse components really do it for me too. It's such an understated build that really allows that beautiful frame in those amazing colours to do all the talking.

Every time I look at it I get sweaty palms just thinking about one day finding a Brodie in my size!

That’s what I think would be perfect - 215g Turbo Lite - but it’s £120! Can’t afford that now

Me "I'm off for a little ride to catch the sunset"
Wife "Are you going to take some poncey photo's of your bike"
Me "Er........yes"

I‘d say you did a good job!
Poncey (had to look that word up) pictures and of course bike!

Hahahaha.

God bless 'em all for keeping us in check!

Always happy to see more photos of one of my all-time favourite bikes.

Looks like an awesome path to ride.
Did you bring a beer along to toast the sunset?

You should’ve seen the looks I was getting. Loads of couples enjoying the sunset and me taking pics of an old bike!
