Default What seats are everyone using?


I'm looking to replace my road bike seat and am wondering what will be
more comfortable that my current brick.
I'd love to know what seats are popular with the road riders.

Selle Italia Gel Flite on mine.

I want to try some others out though.
The Fizik Arione sounds interesting and
I want to try one of the saddles with the
groove cut out of the middle..

San Marco Era Pro - about $167 at Cecil Walker. It's not the lightest,
heaviest, cheapest, dearest, hardest or softest, which makes it a
reasonable compromise.

I can't speak for its popularity, but comfort-wise, it is _not_ as
comfortable as my armchair recliner.

Flite Titanium (titanium rails) on the fixed gear, basic Flite (tubular
CrMo rails) on the roadie.

I reckon the Flite Evolution 3 (carbon top, titanium rails) is the ducks
guts. only wusses sit on the seat, anyway!

Cheers,

Suzy (back to a real news-reader, at last)

Fizik Arione and a Selle San Marco Squadra.

(and a WTB Rocket V on the mtb, which I reckon would also be good on a
roadie)

Selle Italia Trans Am Max. A bit wider than the Flight. Just right for
those of us who are not built like Lance :-)

Stay away from gel anything. The gel transfers the pressure from where
it should be to the squishy bits. Not good for your sex life.

I can only see the and not the original thread so I'll reply here...Rolls (san marco) and it's neigh on 8yrs
old...it's rooted! I need a new saddle! I'd buy a new Rolls if I could find one, I just haven't looked. I'm a cheap lazy
*******...if it works, don't fix it...lol. Gawd I'm cheap. My sore arse Vs $X0...idiot that I am.
