Retro Bike Seats

Selle Royal Introduces a Line of 70s-Style Bicycle Seats

— April 30, 2011 — Art & Design
Selle Royal is an Italian bicycle accessories designer that has been supporting cyclists for over 50 years. It creates high-quality and practical parts for bikers to really enjoy their bicycles.

Recently, Selle Royal introduced the Origins Collection, which included a number of items with which to retrofit your bicycle. In recent years, trends have shown that young urbanites are bringing back vintage fixed-gear bicycles. In order to complete the retro look, the Origins Collection by Selle Royal has just the right equipment.

The main component in the Origins Collection line is its unique bicycle seat that comes straight out of 1977. The seat comes in your choice of real or synthetic leather and will cost you between $60-$90. It doesn't promise supreme comfort, but that's the price you pay for style.

Industry Implications
