Selle Italia says: “Our goal is to make the world’s first truly comfortable ultra lightweight saddle.”

The crowdfunding contribution levels start at $199, which you’ll get a saddle for – and the eventual RRP is listed at $300-400… Oof.

What do you think – comfy performance perch or unfortunate cigar-cutting accident waiting to happen?
