Got one, looks like a carbon Toupe without the padding. Decided to stick with my Antares for now. You want to make an offer?

I wouldn’t use one for cyclocross personally, too many tough remounts.

As with so much on AliExpress there are so many retailers it’s hard to conclusively say. Do your research, buy from a reputable company and it’ll almost certainly be fine.

cheers, they are only £15 new – how much do you want? got a link or picture?

A man should look after his baws, sefton, not torture them with a carbon saddle in a cyclocross race.

£12 posted. Not been used, so still new.
Gloss 3k carbon, oval rails.

oval rails – hmmmm

Fake?

They are definitely saddles. Most are unbranded, so no, not fake. Some have Selle San Marco or Fizik decals, so yes, some are. With thousands of items for sale though it’s a sweeping generalisation

what is this business with oval rails? Much of the saddles on there seem not to have round ones, or don’t specify
