WTD: Vetta Trishock

[chainguard]

NOS, unused, as-new or or barely sat on.

Leather/vanadium would be nice but willing to consider a lowly vinyl/cro-mo.

These were my favourite saddles (though they never seemed to last long). Needed for a nostalgic build...

Cheers

I guess I can live with vinyl: Any chance of a pic? Cheers

it took me over 2 years to find a pair of leather/vanadium ones. one each for my best road and mountain bikes. I still hold vain hopes for a Ti one

Thanks for the photos. I know it's a long shot but I'm really looking for something in as 'as-new' condition as pos.

I agree about the rarity of the good ones. In the mid-nineties I remember specifically driving to a bike shop that had stock to pick up a spare.

Should have bought a few and stashed them, but in those days funds did not permit such extravagances...

I know it's a long shot but last year there was a seller on ebay who seemed to have a good amount of nos vetta tt cromo saddles. I got 2 off of him for my builds.

Here's a link to his page and whilst he may not have any it has to be worth asking cos he may just have one kicking around..
