i love bikes. REALLY. oh yes. lots. and i am getting edgy about carbo arriving. because he isn’t here, i seem to alway question if it is all real. will he arrive? will it all come through? i know it will but i always have this doubt in the back of my mind, well i should say front because every day that goes by and i don’t have carbo, the doubt pulses bigger and bigger.

anyway, even though i don’t have carbo yet i am thinking upgrades and being a designer the look is a priority for me. i loved the scale 50 with its white seat. it’s so wrong for a race MTB to have a ivory flavoured butt pad, but it looks the biz, off-setting the white of the tora forks, and the white rear hanger areas. carbo has these same features but a black saddle. so i did some tests to see what a white seat could look like.

then that would mean new grips?
charge sponge grips with brown locking clamps.


now the brown would almost suite the gold decal highlights of the scale. or would it?


then there is the option of the charge spoon saddle. its a leatherette seat that surprisingly looks sophisticated when poised atop a carbon seat post on a MTB bike….. see


i really don’t mind the look of it on the Specialized.


now on carbo… could work, maybe, if not i would look great on tarini

unfortunately the image of the spoon seat on their website isn’t the best. the light has caught the top of the leatherette and made the seat look quiet curvaceous which it really isn’t as seen the specialized.
