Hey Guys and gals,
Today, I was really bored and was waiting for the tailbag that I've ordered from newenough to arrive so I can go and do something in the garage, but the big surprise for me was when the mailman rang the door to deliver something for me, guess what it is? it's the TS saddle that I've ordered a few days ago :rockon:
I don't know how they ship their saddles, but those French are fast :Flash:
Also, I got very exited to the level that I washed my bike, installed the seat and give it a short ride :thumbup:
Now, I know that you wanna see the pics :BLAA:

This is how the box looked like

The top saddlerie seat doesn't need a review, it's already known that it's thousand times better than the stock seat. Now my butt will thank me for the seat :spank:

+1


Wow, that is awesome.
I am definately going to get me one of them.
hmmm, now I have to decide, white stitching or red??


Kazza...... group buy for us Aussies?:aus:
might save on some postage at least.


I do have one query though....
has it made any difference to the height?
I struggle at present with the stock seat, if its any higher I'm gonna have more drama's, unless they can shave it down a tad.

Love it. What did it cost?

Thanks, I love it too, the cost was € 267,72 including shipping and after calculating the exchange rate for the us dollars, the cost is $365.

This is a bargain seat with standard height and no gel option, I can't notice any height difference between both seats (am 6' tall), but I can do some measurements if you'd like to? And I believe that they can make a lower version of this seat but it'll cost more since it's going to be custom made.

what materila did you choose for yours? i know they have different material but i do not know which is best for grip and look. great looking seat it makes the bike feel more complete. i would need the lower seat too as any higher than stock and i wouldnt be able to tip toe

How much was a seat like that, and did they charge you a lot for shipping for was the shipping included in the price?
IIRC the shipping was €67.72, I don't know exactly how much is that in dollars, but the total with shipping was $365.
