I've always liked the Bel Air saddles, so succombed at the weekend when they were on offer at Wiggle.

The only colour I liked they had left in stock was black with green logos.

It arrived today, and I reckon it would go perfectly on a green Cotic Solaris. Which is a blow, as I have a black Soul!

Damn these times of austerity!

(And yes, I know I "want" rather than "need", before you start)

Just colour the Soul with green Nanos and get grips with green collars. Go the whole hog and get green Race Face cranks....or just buy the new green Soul!

Buy a green Niner Air or One9 ?

There's your solution right there.

I'm still chuckling at how many people fell for that "deal" on wiggle 😆

Hollow rails, cheap Ti alloy, I snapped one myself and had to buy a solid ti rail version instead. Case of buy cheap buy twice.

Maybe a nice Halfords bike to match your bargain saddle ?

Funnily enough, my lardy fat backside hasn't snapped the old one, hence I bought another.

But maybe I'm not as Gnar! as you.

enfht - somehow I doubt that!

Liking the Kinesis, but having rummaged down the back of the sofa, it ain't happening anytime soon. Suspect the green saddle will go on the black Soul and the old saddle will go on the commuter.

I have a bike waiting for a new saddle. Do those Charge Spoon STW subscription enhancers just arrive by magic? 😉
