Turbo Tabo

3207782704_7ae4fab1f9.jpg

Continuation of the previous posts I made about new old saddles. I just picked up a Soma Tabo from King Kog in Brooklyn. It’s going on the MKE bike, which should be in this week hopefully! Mounted on my BMW currently is the Grunge saddle, which as you can see has split in the back from bailing on no-handed wheelies.

On top of those are a few of the old Turbos I have laying around. The top one was NOS a year ago. Took about 4 months to look like that. I’m really glad to see some companies making cheap[er] knock-offs. Really wish I hadn’t trashed all those Turbos in the past!

    how does it related to the original turbo so far? I would like to able to get one but I’m in London and it’d probably be a better idea to wait and get some feedback on this saddle.

    The fake leather isn’t as grippy as the Turbo, or even as grippy as my Grunge saddle. The shell feels similar, but not as bulky as the Turbo. I still love the way the OG turbos ride.
