Is that a brown Fizik Aliante saddle? Where do you get those?

steve,

that's a brown LEATHER aliante - they don't exist anymore, sorry. i asked fizik to make me a dozen a few years ago and i guess they used up all the leather in the world because they won't make any more.

there were some brown naugahyde aliante floating around a few years ago but those were butt-ugly compared to the leather versions.

i could sell 50 of these a years, i swear...

every time i see someone from fizik i put the screws to them about making more of these but they have ignoring me down to a fine art so nothing happens.

quelle dommage...

sh

man, I'll tell you what... everytime I see Steve or Andy talk about their bikes it makes me want one even more as well as realize how I screwed up by not getting a Hampsten when I bought my last bike... now, I've gotta wait a while until I get another bike... ;-)

Great job guys! BTW- Mountain Flyer magazine is awesome, so glad I can find it here in San Diego...
