Howdy folks.

I just got this in the mail today: http://tinyurl.com/24wzz. I was told this is a "pista" but I don't really know much at all about these saddles. I have one of the old funky ones with the flat, slotted rails that has the proprietary seatpost and it is much flatter and wider than this pista. The Classic-Rendezvous page on Unicanitor didn't seem to indicate that they came in different widths, so I was surprised at how different the two are. The pista has much thinner plastic and the the wishbone rails are some sort of lightweight alloy. Anybody know what this is? As cool as it is, looking at it I can't imagine that I will be able to tolerate riding it....

Thanks,
