First of all, let’s start with what Pristine has to say about their new saddle themselves:

We are excited beyond words to be able to present this collaboration with San Marco. We did a take on their classic Concor Supercorsa saddle. In my eyes the most iconic saddle in cycling history, one that has often been imitated but never equaled. We decided to keep it clean and simple (pristine, if you will) and make a vegan perforated Concor Supercorsa saddle.

We had been talking with San Marco for a while now as they were working on a vegan saddle that eventually became the Concor X. The X as an alternative symbol. Dedicated to people that are looking for products made with an alternative material to leather, but keeping the characteristic aesthetics of the Concor unchanged.

There are few companies that have been around as long as San Marco (since 1935) and the fact that San Marco understands that there is a demand for vegan saddles with that vintage look shows that they are moving with the times and are staying connected to an ever changing bicycle community.

We at Pristine are part of that new generation of cyclists as well, and we are honored to be working together with San Marco and are able to present this limited edition saddle; the San Marco X Pristine Concor X.

Limited to 200 pieces worldwide, once these are gone – they are gone forever. Made out of white Microfeel material instead of leather, these seats are 100% vegan. And the perforated cover gives it a nice vintage touch. With a subtle San Marco X Pristine logo on the side of the saddle. We hope you like these as much as we do.

Available at a special price for pre-order right now in our online shop over at www.pristinefixedgear.com

Ok, I like the looks of their saddle, but that’s because it’s a Concor… And I’m glad for our friends at Pristine that they got this huge collabo going on. But aren’t their millions of other vegan saddles on the market already? They might not be as vintage looking as this one, but hey, YOU decided to be vegan…

Don’t forget to come to Amsterdam for the screening of AMS-RBX-PRS 2010 this Saturday at Pristine!

Thanks to Pristine, Fishmeister and Mike from MASH, I had a lovely day racing through Amsterdam on the busiest day of the Sail 2010 event! I even talked Danish delight Josi into racing with me, the girl landed less than 24h before the race in Amsterdam and didn’t know her way around town, but the girl rocked, she can race and dodge tourists like a pro!
I’m still not used to going to these kind of events without drinking before, in and after the race… But hey, I can have fun without alcohol! Can I?

Hey everyone. I messed up the date, next saturday is August 21st of course, not September. So yeah, we’re organizing an alleycat next saturday with Mike from Mash. None other than Stefan Vis is setting the course. We’re starting at the shop around three ‘o clock. Come and race, there will be cool prizes from Cinelli and Mash. Tell your friends!
