Selle San Marco VINTAGE

[High Gear]

I guess they are bringing all of the old models back into production. Cool!

And the Turbo from Selle Italia too. Ordered me a Regal over two weeks ago from Ribble. Still waiting though
Almost got the Concor, but wanted to try a wider saddle than I currently have.

[High Gear]

Some of those older saddles fit many butts ok. I remember having to ride home standing after mounting Lances fav, the Concor lite. That was the most uncomfortable one I ever used. Now, the Regal was one I used for many years, to me one of the best looking plastic shell saddles ever made. I used the Rolls for a bit before going back to the Regal. Never had the chance to try the standard Concor.

Peanya, I just looked at the Selle Italia site and like you said they are doing the same. The original Turbo in suede and the 1990 (probably fit the most butts out of any saddle) Flite. I hope they come back out with the Turbomatic 2. Looks more vintage than the 3. Remember this aero Turbomatic?

I have a Turbomatic 4. Used to ride and love the Turbomatic 2. They're NOT the same saddle any more.

My other 2 bikes have Regals on em. Looking to try the Regale next

I can only wish that they bring back the Squadra....it's the most comfortable saddle I've ever sat on. Of course it's not a "classic" so......

[High Gear]

I have one sitting around if you need it.

[Matt1986]

I have the Regal on my commuter and a Concor put aside for my retro merckx - maybe I should invest in a Rolls to complete the Selle San Marco triumvirate

To me that was the best saddle San Marco ever made.

My last 2 are on bikes I alternate riding daily; don't know what I'll replace them with.

I love my squadra hdp!

If you're looking to sell it I'd definitely be interested.

Sometimes you can get lucky....I bought a NOS one not too long ago for $50.

[High Gear]

I'll look for it tonight. I can send you a photo too if you like. I'll PM you this evening when I find it.

Let me know if PRB decides he's not interested

Will do.

Just mounted my Regal on my BMC last night. Originally was going to put it on my retro Trek build, but thought I'd give it a try first. I really like the look of the Concur more, but heard a lot more good things about the Regal. If I love the Regal, I might order a Concur eventually for the retro build, but it's getting my generic Aliante for now.

Be aware that the retro remakes are the same shape, same plastic mold as the originals. However, where they differ is in the materials. I have 2 Rolls and 1 Regal that are authentic 1990-91 era saddles with real leather and hefty padding material. I have had a modern Regal as well, and the material is cheaper, it was thin synthetic material and hardly any padding underneath. I compared it directly to the original. I can't confirm if the remake Rolls are the same. I bought the two Rolls NOS for roughly the same price as a brand new one.

[zmudshark]

Regal Girardi's do have more padding than the new models, but the new models aren't bad at all, just need more attention paid to the setup, IME.

Turbomatic 2 was great.
I am glad to have one NOS for spare, waiting for the correct bike.
