$20 · Vintage 1990's Vetta Floating Air Cushion Leather Road/Touring Saddle

Made in Italy Clean, well above-average condition. Very minor scuff marks at corners. Period correct for your bike restoration project? Easy to view. The Vetta Floating Air series of saddles uses slightly more traditional means to cushion the rider, though it still has the Vetta Shock Absorber (VSA) dense rubber compound at all the rail contact points but it has no gel. The Floating Air uses a nylon shell made of stiff molded nylon plastic then covered with several layers of padding material. The layer next to the shell is a waterproofed fabric, that is contact cemented to the shell, and makes a stable base for the upper layers. Above this fabric is two open celled foam pads, which Vetta refers to as a baffle, because open cell foam permits air to be squeezed out and pulled back in again, like a sponge does water. Over the two foam pads is a sealed air chamber which works like the gel does in the Vetta Lite Gel saddle, allowing give and rise to cushion shock.
