Specialized saddle
Is this eBay item a real Specialized Toupe? Never seen one without padding before. Chinese knock-off or £200 superlightweight bargain?!

I think they did, from memory back in the 70s/80s... haven't seen one for years though, our current milkman uses a standard van, albeit hybrid.

Funny it's now ended and unsold...
you can report this item to ebay as copyright infringement - they take these things quite seriously.
Same (or very similar) type without the Specialized branding selling for around £12 on Ebay...some poor sod already bid £25 for this auction...
Doesn't Trump have one of these?
Just sent the guy a mail asking a very reasonable question - what model is it because I can't identify it in the Specialzed catalogue. Got a very quick very snotty answer, doesn't know the model as he bought it off ebay, pointed out that at no point in his ad does he say it is genuine, and concluding " if you don't like it there's no need to tell me, just don't bid". Sounds like all you need to know.
Quite. And he is selling it as a
"Specialized Carbon bike saddle"
also, "New".
But he did unpackage, mount and try it first.
This is a cheap Chinese knockoff with unknown quality issues. I couldn't possibly think of what would happen if a rail or both rails decide to snap/break on a ride. Now you're in for one oh-sh*t moment.
