I just received the most beautifully crafted leather saddle second hand. I do not really have the right bike to put it on, it's a narrow racy saddle. I might have to build a bike around it .

That's a lovely saddle. I think aesthetically it needs a steel frame, fairly minimalist bike to go with it.

I'd never venture into any other frame material <3.

Well, maybe for the fork.

This is what happens when you pair the most hideous seat post ever made by man with with moste aesthetically pleasing saddle:

Oui ️!

That saddle even has an id number. It’s probably worth more the my bike frame .

@Moty I love it! Are you racing as well?

Ever notice that people on bicycles are usually smiling? Ever see someone smiling while running? Me either.

2nd place at a local trail 50km yesterday. Was fun to go out with the fast pack. At 4 miles or so the pack thinned and at 7 miles I was passed by two runners. Then passed again at mile 12. Managed to run my way back to second place on the last few hills.

@seawolf I smile when running (and cycling) and see lots of other people doing it too

Like Andy Glaze says, ‘Smile or you’re doing it wrong’

[goosehd]

@Nik …I smile when I see these pics

Thank you!!

@goosehd a smile can also be psychotic or deranged, so I guess that counts

[Giles]

If you are smiling when you are running, it's gas......

[goosehd]

@Giles @Tago-Mago both of you

Here’s an AI generated smiling runner.

Best I could do
