Who has a Saddle Fetish?

Last Friday's post about David's cherished Cinelli #2 Unicanitor red suede saddle triggered a curiosity within to check out the current availability of one of those rarities today.

Well, guess what? There actually was one on eBay!!

There was no way Dave could let it slip away. He had to have it! And I love the way he lights up when he has his hands on a bicycle part he adores.

 

Somebody has an early Christmas present!

Best Loved Saddle!

It's funny how particular many cyclists can be when it comes to their bike seat. This is a cute shot of David's Cinelli #2 Unicanitor red suede saddle. It's been his #1 preference in saddles since his teenage racing days. He still has an old one I doubt he'll ever let go, even though it's battered and torn.

These days, vintage seats like this one in great condition are very hard to find. We actually purchased this one on ebay 2 years ago, and it was new and unused, arriving to our doorstep all the way from Japan!
