Bent my aspide (sob)

could the moulding/leather/whatever comprises an Aspide have shifted t
the one side

Can we assume that you are not similar to Mr Armstrong and missing, er
um, something thus unbalancing the riding style

or perhaps you been riding round-nround the crit course too much

G'day,

was putting away the trusty racing steed the other night & happened to
notice my 6 months old San marco aspide ti saddle was bent!. The rails
are Ti & still seem to be the right shape, but the saddle has a definate
'lean' to the left (when viewed from behind). As i haven't bingled it,
(yet) nor bashed it against anything....i can only conclude that its
either (a) a manufacturing fault in which case the lovely man from San
marco will take it back & gladly replace it with a new one & i will
accept his humble apologies.....or (B) I'm to fat to ride this saddle!
(so it's obviously gotta be (A) right?).......but seriously, san marco's
web site doesn't say anything about weight restrictions for this saddle,
so I can only assume that its Ok for fat [censored] to ride....a
reasonable assumption?......I 'll let you know how I go trying to get
this replaced!......anyone else had a similar problem?

cheers,

Hitchy

That's a bummer (sorry). I have a San Marco Era something that is only
a couple of months old, but no problems yet. I believe it has alloy
rails (not Ti).

My old saddle definitely bent, though I don't consider myself a fat
[censored] - not fat at any rate. It was a Selle Italia that came with
the bike new 6 years ago...

G'day Hitchy:

Gotta be the second possibility. If you wanna get your warranty claim t
work, you should send in someone slim, or otherwise they won't take i
as a manufacturing fault. 😄😄:

Seriously, saddles can twist without a bend on the rails. It's got to d
with the construction where rails ends are held. It happened to my ver
first bike. I took it as a cheap manufacturing. Your case is different

A bit OT, but I just love how people who find this saddle uncomfy call
it the "Ass-Bleed"... (where "ass" is pronounced like the donkey)
