Titanium? Obtainium! Made in the same style as the Gyes GS-17A, this leather saddle has a frame and rivets made of titanium, making it the one of the lightest weight leather saddles Gyes offers!

Experience the comfort of a leather saddle: Made by Gyes in Taiwan, it's a full-on leather saddle with adjustment screw to adjust leather tension as you wear the saddle in.

If you're looking at this part, you may already know about how much more comfortable leather saddles can be once they're worn in. I didn't know how great they were until riding one myself. Now I'll never ride anything but leather.

This saddle is narrow and long for a racing type riding position with the handlebars lower or even with the saddle. It has no springs as do some touring saddles, so it's lighter than a sprung saddle. This one is made for more of a racing posture.

Leather care:

* You need to keep it out of the rain as much as possible
* The bottom of the saddle has a protective fabric screen to protect the leather from water sprayed by your tires
* You'll need to make sure you oil your saddle regularly, otherwise it'll dry out, crack and become worthless. Sheldon Brown's website has an excellent article on leather saddles and saddle care (Google "Sheldon Brown leather saddle"). We use Rawlings leather baseball glove oil and conditioner, but any suitable treatment used on baseball gloves, leather bike saddles, horse saddles and the like should do just fine.
