Must be just like sitting on perfectly torqued cloud.

I am indeed old fashioned and would hope to have a bit more bike attached to advertised saddle of schwank for that courageous pricetag.

The saddle comes with a 'free' torque wrench

Someone paid attention to the lecture on 'Jedi mind tricks' in their advanced marketing course at Uni that day.

Doesn't this belong in the Ludicrously Expensive bike bits thread?

It's totally free Poods in a 'kind of....errrrrr......well......' way.

it is free, once the $$pecialized wealth "tax" is taken into account

I’ve gone to 3D printed saddles on my bikes after buying one from @Wake Jake, but it’s the Ryet version in 150mm, for me it’s been brilliant and for around $50, a hell of a lot cheaper!

Currently looking for another one as I may have another bike on the way, so looking to standardise it across my fleet.

This would be a great bike for any Xl 'burner. I had one of the alloy ones and it was great. You couldn't buy a frame for the price of this:

If you scroll back up to the ad, it mentions the torque wench's $60RRP. I think Poods' question is meant to be interpreted as "how the snot is that worth $60?"

Exactly. It looks mildly better than the shotty torque wrench that comes with a Polygon to assist in assembly.

80mm long, and only 3 settings. (But only 4, 5 and 6Nm)
Small and easy for "anyone" to use?

I really thought that post was quite clear...

Why? What is good about them?
I have let all the talk of them pass me by because they are all so damn expensive (except the one you are talking about...)

I found the comfort quite good, good middle ground without too much padding to be bulky and just enough so it doesn’t feel like a piece of wood. Due to my hip replacement and other injuries in the area, my body lets me know pretty quickly if it’s going to work or not, for me if I can go for a ride and realise Im not thinking about the saddle it’s a positive sign, I found that 150mm seems to be the sweet spot for me, plus the extra holes help my sweaty arse.

So as mentioned above I’ve been looking for another 3d saddle, so I checked out Bucklos, who have some on special and I’m all for a bargain but

I'll wait for the foreskin version...

Less obvious than this I guess.
