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.

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.

Try riding one for a while and you will see they are not as comfortable
as you first imagine it to be.
