    Likely intended for the GRS set, but noticed this in Chipps
    cyclingnews.com roundup from Eurobike. It looks like some sort of
    weapon from the old Star Trek.

    "Selle Italia Thoork
    Selle Italia had this 'Thoork' saddle on a fast rotating dais,
    presumably to stop everyone photographing it. From what we can gather,
    it's a 110g saddle that doesn't resort to bare carbon in the rails or
    seat padding."
    Here's the pic:

    Anybody care to venture a guess on where the name "Thoork" came from?

    Thoork is a scientific (medical) term for "severely bruised prostate".

    It rhymes with dork, so that would probably be those who would purchase
    such an abomination.

    My guess judging the color is that is the sound it makes when you pull it out your ass when getting out of the saddle

    My roommate said that the saddle should read "Insert [censored] here" instead
    of "Thoork."

    No idea, but what a cool concept for the g/roadies - they can shave their
    damned legs with it too!

    I vote this as the funniest answer possible. Well done, Jim!
