Are these seats the same but with just a name change for different markets???

Cheers

I thibk the name change was over time rather than markets...I can't remember if mine is an alps or transalps, it's all rubbed off over time... but yeah, the same thing.

Cheers that's the info I needed

 

[T'boo Ted]

well I think anyway, could of course be completely wrong...

Transalps have the back corner of the seat cut away.

Transalps have the back corner of the seat cut away.

Er... that's the difference between a regular flite and a flite transalp. Hes asking is there is any difference between a flite transalp and a flite alps...

Thing is, my red label alpes is exactly the same as that transalp pictured...

I'm saying theres no difference except the lettering ( so far as i know)

I think you may well be correct, it's an age / date thing..

Re:

As above and discussed some years back, well many years back BitD on Retrobike.
Same, I also have both and they are the same.

Though flites did vary over the years, they got heavier as more padding was added and comfort lost.
