that’s no slip
that’s both lips
As you can see Freud’s lips are chapped. He’s been around the block a few times with a zip tie in his mouth securing him to my front hub. Before that he sat in a raised garden bed for a season or two. I found a Freud bobble head doll in a free pile in the UW Psychology department in the middle of the covid years, and I’ve gotten my money's worth.
Now Freud is looking up from under my saddle.
It seemed like a good idea at the time…
In 2012 Portland Design Works released the Dios Thronous saddle. The first of its kind, 100% injection molded EVA foam. The Crocs saddle. In black, green, white and “red”. But it’s not even close to red. It’s full-on pink.
I was completely unaware of this saddle, until there was a metric shitton of them at BikeWorks. PDW stopped making them. Bike shops couldn’t sell them. They were kicked to the curb and donated. Bike Works could barely give them away. The word on the street was that they were too “sticky” and spongey and not cool. OK for your bar bike but you wouldn't want to ride across Iowa on one of these.
I got one at BikeWorks a few years ago and it sat in a milkcrate in the garage until last week when I slapped it on the Raleigh that Sally gifted my 16 years ago.
All my bikes are “bar bikes” so this thing works for me. I like the size and the shape. The color matches the cute little stripes on the Port Townsend. I’m not sure yet about the sticky-sticky high-friction texture. But for my butt the bike-to-train-to-bike to work, it’ll work.
