Good find and a great deal if you could get on it. Those plastic re-issues just don’t do it for me… same for the Concor.

Haha, mine will be having a close and personal relationship with my arse. As Nexus said, the new ones are a little so so, it was too good a deal to pass up!

It’s a pretty good deal IMO.  
I considered buying 2, and having one for my next project, but I figured someone more deserving should get the last one.  
Glad it was someone from here.

I’d love to know where he’s getting them from.  
Maybe we should email him and ask if he can do a FoA bulk order discount.

I bought one of these from the first listing and now that it’s arrived it doesn’t quite seem to be the old turbo saddles. It’s not a leather saddle but synthetic, size is different, logo is just a decal and over quality isn’t like my older turbo saddles. The packaging itself says “Biodegradable” which i doubt was something they did back then.

Here are some pics of the saddle and my other turbo saddles. Notice the lack of any logos at the front, or rear and no markings on the underside.

edit: seems a few others have fallen for the auction too
