Is it just me or are newer Selle Italia-saddles in other colors than black utter shit?
I had an old yellow Flite, that after a couple of years got so worn in the leather that I decided to replace it with a new one... So, I ordered a yellow Flite "GelFlow" on sale from Chainreaction.
After one ride to work the "leather" had ripped.. after a week it looked like this:
Now, this DID happen while riding in regular jeans, loose fitting.. but still..
Ok, so I returned it for warranty.. and while waiting (still am) for a reply I stumpled on a cheap yellow Flite on ebay, used. It's a bit older than the one pictured.
Put it on the bike today, and after one ride in the rain it looks even worse than the one pictured above... annoying! Anyone else having these problems with Selle Italia-saddles?
