What seats are flattest?
I'm in the USA, and prefer something available here.
Thanks!

The flattest seat I've seen is just a seatbase, no foam or cover, used
just for seat out. If you want something you can ride on too, look at
the new KH street saddles.
Loose.

By flat do you mean thin? Get the new KH saddle and if it isn't thin
enough for you, you can customise it.

I'm talking about how sharply it curves down in the middle & up to the
front.
Quoted message said:From searching the group, many people seem to find flatter seats more
comfortable, but many seats have a sharp curve.
I think someone was even thinking about using an SDG Big Boy or similar
DH bike seat with a front handle.

That's the second time I've posted this, and both time google added an
extra">" to make it look like I'm quoting the "From searching" line. Oh
well. Maybe it's time to start using a regular NNTP server. It seems
like some of you post from unicyclist.com. Maybe I should try that.
If a saddle is too curved for you you can always cut the foam down. I
would suggest a Kris Holm Freeride seat, if you look at it from the
side, its nearly flat, and if it is still too curved it has a
removeable seat cover so you can cut the foam underneith.

Old style Schwinn seat (no bumpers or handle) & a torker LX seat where
I cut foam out of the front. Couldn't ride that one before, can now,
but wanted something better. Maybe I'll just cut more foam out.
Since I liked the gentle curve of the old style Schwinn seat I ordered
the new handled Schwinn Velo gel seat from UDC. In photos it looked
like the same shape, but it's not: it's very curved. I want to send it
back, and get something else. It's OK if I have to cut up a seat, but I
want it to be a more promising fit at the start.
The new Schwinn seat would be great if flatter.

Thanks!
Looks good if you can sit on the back.
