I really like leather. Not like that. Well maybe. Anyway,
it’s really useful on areas that get a lot
of interaction from your hands, butt, feet, and natural elements. Leather holds up extremely well
with a little bit of care, and it develops a very nice patina over use and time.
For those who like to ride with their bars at or below the saddle, the
Model 6 is a great choice. We discontinued them briefly, but we decided that it's a way cool, affordable saddle that we'd like to keep in our lineup for those who enjoy a spirited, racy ride.

I have several thousand miles on my model 6 & am considering another for another bike. Is it just me, or did the rail to saddle geometry change? I believe on mine they're parallel, but the pic on this post appears to show a substantial departure from parallel between the rails & saddle surface.

ReplyDeleteThe hardware in the nose is cleaner, and the nose skirt is longer thus hiding the hardware better. The geometry difference between the generations is absolutely miniscule.
I just noticed that you're also no longer listing the Model 1 saddle. Is that one ever going to come back? I just wrote a long-term review about it for my blog, which of course is kind of pointless if the saddle is no longer available.
ReplyDeletePicking leather nits, but the seams on your toke-clip leather wraps should be running down the center of the curve rather than along the edge.
ReplyDeleteNeatly centered seams are much more sexy...
The Model 1 didn't sell very well, but we may bring it back eventually. I (Chris) really liked it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Chris. I'm all in favor of bringing it back, as you can see from my review.
