Does anyone know of a picture of a Bianchi Via Nirone sporting a San Marco Rolls or Regal? I'm trying to decide if either will suit the frame..

    Get a saddle that suits your bottom not your bike, the frame won't mind what saddle you use :wink:

    Regal will look better, but topdude is right - fit is the most important thing. Have you used either saddle before?
    More problems but still living....

    I've not yet tred it yet but have ordered the Regal and it should be here tomorrow!

    For all those who have not seen a Bianchi Via Nirone with a San Marco Regal, BEHOLD.....

    (Tomorrow)...

    Maybe it's going to be hung on a wall and never ridden. :wink:

    Have you seen where I live, there isn't room on the walls so I keep my bikes in the (spare) bath...

    I just didn't want it to look like a sofa - don't you think skinny framed steel bikes look better with older style saddles and chunky alu frames look better with tiny ones??

    I have a lugged steel frame AND use a "tiny" saddle, but not because it looks good or bad. I'm into comfort and that particular saddle works very well for me. Comfort - it's a good thing. :wink:
