Looks awesome, but that saddle hurts my @ss just looking at it! :dead:
Oddly enough its the most comfortable saddle I have ever been on. That includes offerings from WTB, Azonic, and Bontrager. I think I have narrow sit bones or something.

It looks a bit like the original Selle Italia Flite and that saddle is very comfortable.

Bice nike.

It's more like thin and flexy than the Flite. Not sure which one, but it would be decent. I ride Flite Trans Ams on the roadie, but have had an SDG on the trail bike. Wumpus rides Flites until the leather comes off. Then he electrical tapes them and rides them some more. Good saddles.

Nice bike, poland.

Sweeeet!

I scored a Flite off ebay for 45 bucks and it is a great saddle. It's kinda long, so I can scoot around and change which muscles are getting flogged.
