Brooks Colt

Apparently Brooks are re-releasing their Colt saddle, originally released in the 70s, in a range of new colours. Pretty cool. They look a bit like a narrower version of the Selle San Marco Regal. Ouch.

Seen over at Selectism.

Saddles at Interbike 2009

Selle San Marco is apparently paying attention to demand and doing a full reissue of their classics with their "Vintage" line:





Meanwhile, Selle Italia is focusing on the Batman demographic:

to be fair though, they did already re-release the Turbos...

Very Limited Edition COG Brooks

Check out this unbelievably sweet, lazer engraved COG Magazine edition Brooks Swallow saddle! It's one of three that will be given away as prizes at the first annual COG invitational bike polo tournament, happening this weekend, June 5-7 in Milwaukee, WI. Details here.

Also, COG #6 will be out soon. Keep your eyes peeled.

Cinelli Unicanitor is Back

In July I posted about the rumours that that Cinelli Unicanitor was making a comeback. Well, they're officially back, though disappointingly only in the ass-hatchet plastic BMX-style version. Nevertheless, TokyoFixedGear, London's smartest shop, has them. Check 'em out here.

Kendo Saddles

If you like the Selle San Marco Concor but can't stomach paying the jacked up prices on eBay and can't wait for SSM to re-release it, then check out these Kendo saddles. They're very similar in shape to Concors, but cheaper, and they come in some interesting colours.
Get 'em from Keirin Culture here.

Selle San Marco Vintage.

Selle San Marco are producing the old style Concor again! MilanoFixed just had a post about how Selle San Marco are releasing a line of vintage saddles based on some of their most popular older models. I love San Marcos (all my bikes have San Marco saddles) and the Concor is a particular favorite, so this is great news. Check out the Selle San Marco Vintage page here.

Who Was Nathan Fabian?

I love this. A laser-etched rendition of the infamous Natty Fab, as used on the Superheroes Alleycat poster. I have no idea if this saddle is for sale, but head over to Visitor Design for more details.

I suppose BFSSFG isn't that bad. Just kidding, it's a cesspool, but I did see this over there so whatever.
