General Information
Selle San Marco is another Italian maker of high quality professional racing saddles. The San Marco Rolls is a pro racing style saddle that begins with a Rilsan (a type of nylon) shell as the base of the seat. It has no depressions for additional padding molded into the shell. There is a band like depression running around the rear of the shell and two (one on either side) diamond shaped depressions near the front. Over the shell is cemented an extremely high density foam padding. The padding extends from the tail all the way to the tip of the nose, so nerve damage is less likely no matter what the circumstances. The upper cover is smooth calf leather which is stretched and glued at the surrounding edges and the under the lip to hold it securely. The leather is trimmed to fit the contour of the underside of the nose exquisitely. Multiple cuts and careful cementing deliver a high quality fit. In the diamond depressions is fit a gold plated San Marco logo. It not only adds to the appearance, but it's rivet fastening helps secure the leather to the shell. At the back, in the rear band depression, is a gold plated metal band with a "Rolls" gold plated logo fastened to it. This band, and the logo are riveted through the leather and the shell, to cinch and hold the leather surface. The rails are made of spring steel and are brass plated to fit within the Gold appearance. The return curve is at the front about 1/2 inch from the tip of the saddle. Available in Black, White, Brown and a few limited runs of other colors were produced. Saddle weighs 360 grams.
