Acquired in Trade: WTB Laser V

Through a very timely trade with someone on the MMBA Forum I was able to swap my ill-fitting WTB Rocket V for this new and (very? overly?) shiny WTB Laser V. I’d already ordered a Laser V to try out, but unless this one’s appearance ends up being beyond reproach, I think I’ll be returning it. As can be seen here the chrome and yellow bits aren’t too terrible when taken in context with the yellow bits on the computer and the various silver things on the bar.

Being cloth the cover of this one is also a bit rougher than I’m accustomed to, but that should be okay for now. If it’s not there’s always plenty of other options. At least this one will only cost the $7 or so to ship back the unwanted saddle when it arrives.

    Who cares what a saddle looks like, it’s going to be covered by your ass when you’re using it.. ;)

    Saddles looks aren’t important to me, other then avoiding pink saddles. Bad, for reasons that become very apparent in pictures. (Think horny dog)

    Ali B: That’s my thought too. Being able to slide around on the saddle helps at times. I’d also worry about this wearing out shorts quickly, but we’ll see.

    Nick: I hadn’t even considered that problem with pink saddles. While I’d thought it would be neat to have one, you’ve now convinced me.
