Selle SMP discussion

Unlikely thirds

Rad Bikes is an SMP dealership, ask them?

These guys used to be the cheapest source for legit composits, but that was before brexit so not sure if its really competitive now. I ordered my composit from them and had no issues so should be legit

or this one which doesn't come up in that search for some reason

Lordgun is legit despite its comical name.

Glad to here they're legit. Was looking at Lordgun this morning for a slightly less severe Composit with carbon rails. Competitive prices but no stock.

List price is almost £400, which is somewhat challenging.

Sorry, £515: https://www.probikekit.co.uk/bicycle-saddles-seatposts/smp-full-carbon-lite-saddle/11027872.html?utm_source=kelkoo&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=kelkoo&affil=thgppc&switchcurrency=GBP&shippingcountry=GB&variation=11027873

That sound about right TBH.

You spend a lots more than that on a steering wheels tho.

I have to look at that, I sit on the SMP.

£389.00 for a saddle?!? GTFO :)

Hmm id rather busyman, about the same price as the cheaper versions with a make over .)

Valid point but this is for Bespoked so I don’t have the time.

I’m going to stick with the homage I think.

Arent you going to australia? I can test the waters maybe he can squeeze one in there if for an exhibition bike? I dont mind asking if you dont mind paying :) And with no ship n customs its a lot less cash.

That’s an interesting idea- thanks!

I’m in Oz from Friday next week, for ~10 days, that’s a very short schedule though?

Yes it is but worth to ask if you would want me to?

Yeah, absolutely - if you are happy to do so that would be great.

Yeah np he can only say no worst case scenario. Im okay with that .) Ill let you know when i hear something.

Thanks Bjorn. I'm in Stockholm the week after Australia - if you're around I'll buy you a beer.

Yeah sounds good!

Its on he will find the time to make you a saddle.

Been offered a smp Carbon for 100

It is the one w carbon top and metal rails. No padding. Gonna give it a try. If it doesn’t work out for me is anyone else interested?

I'll have a Chinese all carbon one that whoever on here can have for a tenner in a couple of weeks

Where are you getting it from? I would be pretty suspicious without knowing your source, based on the number of fakes floating around

Yes please

Yeah. Decided against. Was on a Facebook buy sell group. He bought second hand but said he’d had it for four years so before fakes started coming out.

I have tried to buy 4 used all carbon smps. All of the sellers had tried to sell fakes. 3 might not have known but still.. Its not the first saddle id buy from a stranger with no reference tbh .)
