Chas Roberts DB rebuild. What saddle?

[andrewl]

Just go for something that fits your bum comfortably.

I would, but the choice is so huge I really don't know where to start.

I'm assuming you've ridden a few bikes before so start with what you do and don't like about those saddles and go from there.

While I like the concept of a British build (I tried it myself) but at some point fuction is more important and things like saddles I put in this area. You do need a thread for the bike though even if its only a frame at the moment

Patience!

I have bits an pieces arriving from all over at the moment, and will hopefully be dispatching the frame to Chas later this week.

I don't really see the point of posting a picture of the frame, only to have to try and find the thread again in several week (or months) when the frame finally returns.

I'll take a few more photo's before the frame goes off, and I'll start a thread once it's back again.

The search function is my friend, and I'm now learning to type with two fingers.

I've got a couple of the range topping use saddles and they are great saddles and very comfy too. I think there is/was one for sale on here recently for around £30 if memory serves. They had an rrp of something silly like £160 so good value if you can find it!

Like most on here, I am happy to collect bits as I can, I'll have a search.

, then there is of course the legendary Turbo (never owned one).

Take a punt on the Turbo then - http://www.planet-x-bikes.co.uk/i/q/SAS ... rbo_saddle

Comfortable, good price and looks ace in either colour

Shame about you not liking Flite's though, that would look superb on your DB...
