Some of you may have noticed the Ideale saddle that crept into the pics of the Rivet booth.

For those that did, here is some Gilles Berthoud eye candy. Fitted to a MAP bike.

I apologise for not getting an exact comparison profile, but if you thought the Anatomica and Rivet were too broad, if you think the Brooks B17 is clunky and fat and in need of shaving and lacing, you owe it to yourself to look at those.

Or, if you aren't fussy about helmet shape, get one of theirs

So for about 30 seconds we played the Is it Zipp or Is it Princeton game. 30 seconds coz that's how long it took to identify the 20 or so wheelsets within eye of sight.

I polluted @scott43 s carbon frame thread with the 3T Exploro. Well, yes the show had some and I could not help from stopping in.
That's it in the back just there.

But wait! What is it I am leaping over to get to the 3T?
Ans: Festka.
A what?
Rhymes with Fresca.

Heh, ok, but why do you have those up front?
Ans. Look at the tubing. Yes, that is mandrel-wound monofilament.
IMG_20181028_122202.jpg

So all the tubes are mandrel-wound and not woven flat then looped and glue seamed?
Yep.
IMG_20181028_122210.jpg

Smooth.
Yep.
