    ...Etxeondo?

    TE has a bunch of new fall styles from them (for which shipping is currently free, btw). Looks nice, though not in my budget at the moment.

    - Gray 2010 carbon WSD road bike, Rivet Independence saddle
    - Red hardtail 26" aluminum mountain bike, Bontrager Evoke WSD saddle
    - Royal blue 2018 aluminum gravel bike, Rivet Pearl saddle

    Gone but not forgotten:
    - Silver 2003 aluminum road bike
    - Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles

    I've always said, "Eh-chay On-doe", based on what little high school Spanish I can remember. I'm probably way off-base though!

    I say it the way Becky does. But I think it's Basque and not Castellano, so I don't know whether the same pronunciation rules apply.

    Itchy Undie. I have no idea if it is anywhere close to correct, but it is what I can remember.

    Basing of off Extebarria, which is eh-chay-ba-ri-ah (as in Davide Extebarria, a Basque cyclist) I'd think Becky is correct and it is eh-chay-on-do - even though it is a Basque work and not a Castallan one.

    According to Susan O. (who I assume speaks to the Exte Ondo rep regularly), Becky is correct. In fact, I asked Susan this just the other day, actually!
