Jay- In the back of my mind, I had always feared the day when I would see a posting such as yours. I for one, believe that many a greedy SOB has infiltrated the ranks of our purist hobby, and hence the stupid $145 price. I recognize others will say, "The price is what ever the market can bare. Its basic supply and demand". I disagree, someone a lot smarter than me once said, "A fool and his/her money are soon parted". Unfortunately, put the greedy and the foolish ones together and you get what we have today, ergo Ebay. I could go on about the "sold out" Regina Corsa chains ($8 max) being sold for $40, the "never to be made again" Brooks Pro Saddles ($45 max) being sold for $120, the "impossibly rare" cheap plastic Campy measuring tapes ($2 max) being sold for $25, but I fear it doesn't stop here. I am by no means perfect, ubber moral, etc., but my disagreement has become greater by a statement I recently heard, "There is no right and wrong, there is only get as much as you can for yourself". Jay, Do Not buy the Unica saddle from whoever this mutha fudger is. I bought mine from BC at Renaissance Cycles in Holland for $29, two seasons ago. Has inflation risen 5X since then? Obviously not, only the greed factor has. Lets not rise the fool factor by 5X as well. Give this mutha fudger and his kind as much berth as you can! Cheers, David Anderson Cut Bank MT
