All Selle Anatomica saddles are on sale for $99 (+shipping)
Made in Wisconsin leather saddles for the lowest price I’ve seen.
I am not affiliated with them, but I did buy one.

495 grams for the Titanico X I received today. In the same ballpark as a Brooks B-17

[...] what does a thing like this weigh?
Mine will be delivered today
That saddle looks like it might bite back...
I can finally use my 312 saddle cover that I got from Bike To Work Week meet :)
BTW, did anyone also get the saddle sauce?
You're gonna go for a ride in the rain, and you're gonna get wet! I predict!

You can use Pecard's leather dressing or Red Wing, etc. Brooks Proofide will work.

First ride with the Sella-X this morning:
Now that I removed my Brooks, I'm going to lace, soak, and reshape it to see if I can bring it back to life.
My bikes currently have b17s. I had a selle for a while but I don't know if it's the design or if the rails are not as strong as on the brooks but the thing buckled in a fairly short amount of time.
Yeah I'm a big fella but the b17s haven't had this problem in all of the years.

I have been curious about these saddles, but haven't wanted to pay $150+ to try one. For this price, I think it's time to give it a shot...
I've always used brooks B-17's, or back in the day, the equivalent thing from Ideale. Can anyone here tell me how the Selle Anatomica compares to these?
Did anyone order their leather bar tape? At $39, it is just over half the price of VO and Brooks leather bar tape.
Would be interested to hear experiences.
I haven't used the saddle yet, since it is going on my new build. I did however buy the bar tape and installed it yesterday
I used waxed thread and followed these instructions to tie it off:

I did get it with the bar tape. It's cheaper per oz than Proofide, but is a fluid whereas Proofide is a cream. Haven't used it yet.
