Hey everyone!

Looking for a saddle for my upcoming bike build...
Criteria:
Must have round rails non carbon (to fit a Moots seatpost).
Black in color with minimal logos (Bike will be a Moots with black decals/bar tape and blue bits).
Similar to the fizik "chameleon fit" saddles.

For whatever reason all the saddles with round rails by fizik have red all over the covers; the ones without red have carbon rails that do not work with the moots post.

Any suggestions?! :confused:

i have a wtb silverado slimline in my moots seatpost. it's pretty slim for mountain riding, might be better for road. otherwise i also like the fizik snake.

Fabric Scoop?

the radius model in the fabric scoop line-up is darn close to the aliante, imho.

It may be slightly more narrow but I switch between it and the aliante w/o issue. If anything the fabric is a bit more comfy than the aliantes I have. YMMV

Second this - just put a Scoop Shallow Race on a new build. I like it, just the right amount of padding. Definitely has a cool minimalist look.

Fabric Scoop?

How about a Berthoud Galibier. No logos. Classic comfort.

No logos. Classic comfort.

Or Regal (the logo doesn't last long)

Buy whatever saddle fits you the best and have this forum member (http://www.recoveredsaddle.com/about/) recover it for you.

I have two Prologo Scratch saddles, one well used the other almost new take off. These are the original Scratch with Ti Tails and FULL carbon base and Lorica cover, approx 185 grams. Shape is similar to the Aliante with slight hammock and flare at the back. Here is a stock photo....PM for more pics if interested. Lou
