Trans Am?

[Pete Biggs]

Anyone know much about Selle Italia Trans Am saddles?

Is the most basic version the XO Trans Am or is it just
called "Trans Am"?

I noticed a £27 one in Halfrauds that I might like but can't
remember if it was marked "XO" or not. Seemed to have
ordinary foam padding instead of gel. I'm now trying to find
a cheaper price on the web but need to know if I'm comparing
like with like.

thanks for any help, ~PB

Another question:

Is size, shape and padding of Octavia Trans Am same as XO
Trans Am's? Or is there more difference than just the
elastomer thing?

To answer my own question: I now know the one I saw is the
FLX Trans Am - which I suspect might be wider and more
padded than XO or Octavia models (would be interested in
confirmation of that). "Trans Am" is the variation rather
than model so there isn't a "basic version" as such.
