WTB: Turbo, Turbo 2, Turbo 3 saddle

The Selle Italia Turbo mid 90's saddle just seems to fit my ass* the
best and I broke one at my granddaughter's. So somebody must have a
small stash someplace after they switched to .... whatever, SLR I guess.

Let me know.

Thanks

Hello:

Try here for a turbo gel:

The Selle Italia Prolink is similar IMHO.

Cheers :-)

Contact Bike Nashbar. They claim to have some NOS Turbo saddles.

Turbomatic is still made and fits almost exactly the same as the
original Turbo.

I'm pretty sure that they just advertised them in one of their flyers. Email
them and ask.

Type "turbo" into the product search window. Listed are Turbo SL
saddles in yellow or white, Turbo Special saddles in smooth or
perforated white leather, all @ $44.96/ea.

I don't like guys who reply to their own posts, but ... see the deal
with Nashbar is that they ship UPS to Canada. Both UPS and Fedex charge
about $55 "border brokerage" on top of shipping. So for a saddle, as an
example, it's $45 plus maybe $15 shipping and then another $55 at this
end. I don't want to pay that much.

Nashbar used to ship USPS/Canada Post. Usually right to the door for
"small parcels" and $5.00 border brokerage if they decide to charge it.
So I can't be a Nashbar customer anymore. They used to be my supplier of
first choice: good product, great prices.

Oh well. Thanks for listening.

For a fellow Canadian, I'll look in my basement to see if I have one. I
know I have a saddle from the 90s, just can't remember if it's a turbo.
I think it is, as I thought to myself that it was the same as
Indurain's saddle, if I recall correctly.

Do you have any friends in the US? Ask them to order the saddle for you. Then
they can ship it to you with your preferred carrier.
