Fizik Kurve


Lately I have been a very busy man and have managed to get a little bit behind with my blog posts. I'm also a bit behind with my orders but come July when Busyman becomes my full time occupation I will get on top of everything and I am optimistic the wait list will get shorter by the day.

Here's a Fizik Kurve saddle from several months ago, now on a Parlee in Seoul, Korea.
