    The saddle is a bit of a head-scratcher. Designed by Bertone. The exhaust bits...what function could they have? I can't find any explanation online. Maybe they are like the jet age fins and tail-lights on American cars in the fifties.

    I think they're a very elaborated form of the elastomer rail terminus, such as is found in a simpler implementation on the Selle Italia Turbomatic

  • elastomer rail terminus

    A rubber train station. Of course.

  • I ended up with one on a Facebook Marketplace CAAD3 I bought. Cool as an object, but lost the battle to a yellow Flite for looks and comfort. Never managed to light up the afterburners with my puny legs either
