TGIF, Listers:

Well, since I have at least three Ideale saddles (80/90/92) with the "impermablise" (sp?) treatment, I can attest to the fact that not only are all three wonderfully comfortably and compliant, but they stain the bejeezus out of whatever shorts you're wearing. Makes it look like I should be wearing Depends.......

BTW, I WTB any additoinal 92s that any of you want to part with..
