Re: Its poll time people! - Favorite Saddle
To be a poll you have to give options, and people vote.
My bike has a Rolls, which has stood the test of time.

Re: Its poll time people! - Favorite Saddle
Sorry to ressurect this topic once again. I have been saddle shopping and havent found a good road saddle yet. I have mainly tried Sella Italia stock and Specialized. My search was by no means exhaustive, just wat the shops had in stock. Each saddle i try is less comfortable than my existing tolerable* old style Sella Italia LDY. I have found out that i can't stand cutouts cos they just put more pressure on the parts that arent cut out, esp if its not quite the right width. I like ones with a V groove (haven't seen any in road saddles)- like my cheap MTB saddle. I would put my MTB saddle on my road bike but it doesn't fit cos it is really cheap.
Does anyone know of any good road saddles with a groove and NO cut out? I hear Specialized do some- Indy and Milan models i think. My local bikeshop guy is looking into the matter anyway. I shall report any findings |

I have a Specialized Avatar 143 just off the wall from the bike shop. I think it is a man's saddle, and it does have a cutout, but it seems to work well for me. I do notice some pressure bruising along the edges when I get back on after a winter break, but I ride through that well enough and it is so much better than the soft tissue damage I got when I didn't have a cut out saddle, like the stock Trek saddle that came with my rig. |

Re: Its poll time people! - Favorite Saddle
The only saddle that has worked for me in recent years is the Selle Italia Trans-Am. I don't know if this saddle is still available. I bought five of them a few years ago after discovering the saddle accidentally. A friend (male) let me ride his Litespeed Ultimate. It was equipped with a trans-am saddle. It was the most comfortable I had ever ridden. I immediately ordered several and then I found a couple on eBay and bought those as well. The saddle was designed for males and has a cutout. It is a bit wider in the back than some saddles but it still makes a respectable general purpose (including racing) saddle.
I have been riding since the 1970s and had not had a comfortable saddle since my last Brooks leather saddle (well-broken-in) was retired around 1978. |
