Hi I picked up a SaddleCo saddle a couple of months ago and like it a lot. Looks good, and feels good. I weigh in at about 180 and have no problems although my longest ride since purchasing the saddle was only a couple of hours. The only other saddle I really feel comfortable on is a Brooks Swift but I wanted to try a saddle that was less susceptible to water damage. Hope this helps Marc

Hey roadies, Does anyone know where I might find some feedback about SaddleCo's saddles? I have looked at roadbikereview.com and can't seem to come up with anything. Any one of you riding on one? What's the skinny? The concept sounds good if you are a rider under 180 lbs (can't quite remember the weight limit but there is one). Do they live up to their claim of no pressure where it isn't wanted despite the fact that there are no "cutouts" etc.? Durability might be a factor with them too. The airflow concept is catchy too...as in air flows to your butt on the long hot rides...and I guess the short cold ones too! mto

I just tried my new Flow recently for 50 miles..it was mostly very good, but I did have a problem with rubbing from the frame - like my weight (155#) was forcing me down on the frame. I understand it's an adjustment problem, so I will try again shortly... The weight limit is 200#. It's a sweet looking saddle, and the feel is great...I just hope I can adjust it so I don't rub on the frame. I emailed the mfgr but have no reply (1 week ago). In summary, "the jury is still out" as far as I'm concerned..
I will update if and when I get this right. Most posts and opinions I have read have been very good - that's why I bought it..
