...a la Boonen/ McEwan? I missed the boat on NOS white Regals from Nashbar and this is the only other one I've ever seen.

Thanks,

Not exactly what you were looking for. It's perforated with copper rivets.

I, too, love Regal saddles. They're the best!

All my saddles are Regals. I wouldn't be surprised if Selle San Marco releases that white version. The Regal continues to sell well year after year. Try sending an email to the US distributor and ask them about the white saddle.

Thanks guys- good ideas. :cool:

Avoid the embroidered version if at all possible. The embroidery will eat your shorts up in no time flat.

Boonen uses a smooth white Regal, last month's issue of Cycle Sport magazine has a clear shot of his bike with the Regal mounted on it.

For what it worth (probably not much) the Regal used to be my saddle of choice, I used it for about 3 years and loved it. I recently switched to a Rolls and like the Rolls better. The Regal now hurts my butt, these are hard saddles. But giving someone advice on saddles in sort of lame as you never know what works for you.

I also gave up on white saddles, I just ordered an all black Rolls. White looks nice, but in a couple of months no matter what you do to it it will get dirty and grimy looking, mainly from the wear marks.

If you ride where it is hot, you might consider a perforated saddle, it makes it a little bit cooler.

If you keep an eye on ebay, sooner or later whatever you want will pop up.

Bike Nashbar also carries NOS Regals and Rolls, but it's hit and miss on which color.
