Ohhhh nice.

chrome  :LolLolLolLol:  ok mate thats even better.



My saddle doesn't have those lines in it like yours and says Aero Jaguar on the inside but has shot Gun ll on the sides at the front. This isn't a sticker but is etched in to the sides.  :-\ ????????

Here you go Del. Needs some minor work but i only paid £17 for it and it came with a straight Uncut Renthal seat post.
