The Best New Component is Selle Anatomica Series 2 Saddles
The original Selle Anatomica Titanico saddle has long been a favorite among bike tourists and bikepackers for its unmatched comfort. However, they had an issue with durability, specifically the leather stretching too fast and the rails bending from heavier riders. The company has continually improved it, and this year released the Series 2 frame, a modular design with a cast aluminum support and chromoly rails. The new frame is stronger, ~100 grams lighter, and rider serviceable, meaning it’s possible to swap out the skin for a new one. In addition, they’re working on a rubber compound skin option. After Logan put almost 3,000 miles on this one, it’s still going very strong. Stay tuned for a full, long-term review.
