Any of the Power TLRs have been great for us - commuting or endurance riding in the Bay Area. They're reasonably comfy (I find them better than GP5ks), they go on easy, and hold air.

I seem to recall the Lithions were garbage.

Redshift Pro Stem

I didn't win the bike setup from Redshift, so as a consolation prize, I bought myself a stem. Pro version, to needlessly shave some weight (and it looks a bit better).
Only one ride on it so far, but setup was easy (glad I watched the video about where the polymers go depending on +/- setup (I was -, and it comes expecting you to be +, so I had to flip the polymers.). Used the weight chart, and sadly beefed up the polymers used. I'm like 5lbs too heavy for the pre-loaded ones, but probably could have gone with it.
First ride impressions? This is a winner. I could really tell on rough stuff, just smoothed out the buzz on lesser gravel, and a pleasant surprise, I didn't notice it at all out of the saddle. They do say it loosens up after some miles, so we will see. Right now, though, me likes.

That saddle is like the coolest saddle I've ever seen, what's weird is I have never ever seen one or heard of one. Are you going to use it to set on and ride or just for display? If you have rode on it was it comfortable? What's it made of

Had searches for a Time Iscaselle and Selle Italia Prairie in good condition for 6+ years, not many of them were made, the date on it is 2/1988. This one popped up from Japan and I figured it was a scam at the asking price but, I made a lowball offer and seller sold. I figured I might get an empty box when I picked it up, happily it was as pictured, just need to pick up a LR 1120 battery for the clock.

Have lots of age appropriate bikes however it currently has no fixed address, going to enjoy looking at for awhile until I decide which bike it belongs on.

Never riden Time saddle, but it is grippy to the touch.

What is it made of? Don't really know, some mafia members left over shoe cut outs? Can't imagine it is real skin, here is a picture of the bottom, shell says 100% nylon.




Still looking for one of these Selle Italia Prairie's it came in Yellow also.

It looks like the clock is upside down? Which would be helpful. You'd know exactly when you ran into the back of the parked car.

It's also interesting to note S1 and S2 in one orientation (for laps? time zones?) and the ISCA logo in another orientation.

maybe it can be repurposed into a power meter output display when tucked into aero position.

Our company is honoring Breast Cancer Awareness Month by donating the proceeds from special pink shirts the employees purchase. We had to order a minimum number to reach a level to trigger a donation or some such math I couldn't figure out.

We're a service and installation company and our techs, including myself, can tend to get dirty. I couldn't see buying pink shirts in sufficient quantity to last a week, or for that matter to just wear one month a year. It was okay to just make a straight donation so I donated the equivalent of one t-shirt purchase.

But I didn't wamt to appear a party pooper so...
