Take a look at this one!
While researching one of the more pedestrian SLR models for my new bike (arriving tomorrow!!!!!!!!!) I ran across this:
Over the top
"You’d better get in line for Selle Italia’s $1,500 Preziosa SLR saddle,because there will only be 200 of them made. The Preziosa only weighs 145 grams, but this time you are not just paying through the nose to save some grams, you are paying for what is added to the SLR, namely 18K gold inlay over an iguana-leather cover."

and a picture (if you scroll down a bit):

****note: regular SLR can be obtained for around $100 if you shop around and is 135 grams... (and won't wear down your expensive shorts). But to each his or her own. :)
aw, that old leather might be rotten!!
and that preziosa, bah
Seems like the gold leaf might chafe. Don't need that! Guess I'll pass.:rolleyes:
Some people buy to collect not to ride.Quote:
