Saddle with no centre horn

DRS

I came across a saddle with no centre horn whilst browsing on Ebay. It's
the damndest looking thing. I could see it working for a hybrid with a very
upright riding position but somehow I can't see Lance rushing off to order
one.

That's a different design but nevermind. It's just as weird.

I have a friend who saws the horns off all his saddles, and covers them
over with duct tape.

I guess for him it works.

they been around in europe for quite a few years but funnily enough
never took off, according to the 'Cycleopeadia' catalogue (wonderful
yearly issue of everything new/wierd)

seen a lumpier version that looks more like a Wassily(?) chair too

and just what do you refer to when you say 'horn' on a saddle?
sounds nastee...

Better than the Easy Seat! I tried one of those (few bucks at a yard
sale, I'm not nuts) a few years ago. No matter how I adjusted it the
best I could come up with was an orientation that drove the points
directly into the muscle/ligament/thingy where the butt meets the leg
whenever I exerted more than light pressure. Everything else was much
worse. I thought of sawing off the points but figured it was (ha!)
pointless.

horn? my first thought was an integrated air horn - a VERY bad idea
its bad enough mounted on the bars in front of me

AndreS au ===> any resemblance may be purely coincidental.
