Hi, anyone have one of these nice saddles with waves:


I have tons of stuff to trade or can buy.

Thanks, Dan

Those are Selle Italia "Bio" saddles, and are pretty rare. The reason for their rarity is not that they were particularly valuable or sought after, but rather because instead of being leather or some leather like substance, they were covered in lycra, which wore out REALLY fast.

They come up from time to time on ebay.

Hi again, are these all grey, nlack and white? There is no yellow line I believe.

Is this the case? I have found several like the photo of the Team Replica which I believe from the photo has no yellow.

Thanks, Dan

Not sure what you mean...the one in the picture you posted does not have yellow, but they made these with Yellow stripes...

Sorry, I was not clear. I was just wondering if the saddle in the picture also had a small yellow accent stripe. I did not mean the other mostly yellow version seen on some bikes.

Thanks, Dan
