Looks like I may have to get a new saddle, as long as it's as comfortable as the Ti saddle

Looks like a toupe shape version of the teknologica flow. And that's a good thing in my butt's opinion.

Looks nice but will it be worth the price Spec will be charging for it

Accepting that scale to be correct it's pretty light. As for the price, I bet it will be pricey but I'm sure it will be cheaper than the all carbon alternatives from Selle italia. I'm hoping it will be the most comfortable sub 130g saddle. Because I can't justify the price for the carbon SMP

You must be one of those anti-trendy guys huh?

How trendy of you

I JUST got a regular toupe! Two days later, I see this. I'm not regretting my purchase though, regular toupe is very light and so far very comfortable.

That does look nice...I prefer the Phenom shape and feel. Hope they "upgrade" the Phenom to follow suite.

Ok, online definition of toupe is "a small hairpiece to cover partial baldness". Do you suppose that's what specialized named their saddle in honor of?
