Re: Bianchi Reparto Corse Ti Martini FRM Ritchey WCS
A couple of updates
I have been looking for a saddle that will be both light and comfortable and would sort of match the frame - minimalist, so not to overwhelm - as I have been pondering whether to get a Flite Martini Racing Team saddle to match the frame - I found a couple on eBay, expensive, but I think I’ll pull the trigger as I won’t use them but they’re part of the ‘set’ so will keep and perhaps take a few snaps of.
But to ride this Fabric Scoop Ti railed Flat saddle is perfect - so comfortable and flexible and relatively light (about the same as the Flite Ti in weight) - I was looking at the Brooks C13 and I’ve kindly been offered one to try which I’ll do so - and compare to this.
I also changed the cassette to a new M770 which is a sort of upgrade to the worn and slightly heavier M750 I had - plus a light weight KMC X10EL chain - slightly lighter and definitely with more bling and prettier to the XTR chain I had on before.
Bar ends have been removed and I think this looks sleek and looks pretty too!
The next update will be with the Team saddle - IF anyone in Europe is willing to deliver to the U.K. will take some nice pictures out on a ride rather than outside in the garden!
I’m also looking to complete the set by sourcing an ITM Celeste stem and a pair of Michelin Wildgrippers in Green - have the be the very lightweight black wall versions preferably or failing that anberwall.
I’ve seen a pair of Ritchey Celeste pedals around too which I’ll see if I can find again.
Probably won’t use these but will be good for any future re-sale and for collection sake.
Of course when the ‘set’
