The Regal is the original rivet saddle design that rose to popularity in the late seventies and eighties. Used by many European pros in successful Tour de France and Giro efforts, this proven stalwart stands the test of time. Modern saddles use carbon fiber shells and rails and feature improved shapes and massive weight reductions. In contrast, the classic Regal design goes in the other direction and brings us back to another vintage and time of cycling. Old world craftsmanship with beautifully riveted shell construction and quality leather or micro-woven cover matches many classic rides. If you have a retro bike or urban bike project to service or simply want to enjoy a slice of cycling history, the Regal is a good choice. Choose from woven of smooth leather.
