Does Selle Italia Make any comfortable saddles?
Following up myself. Whoops. On Tue, 13 Apr 2004 03:26:23 -0700, Elmo Spam King wrote: Well, I do believe Selle owns Brooks now, so they DO make a comfortable saddle! Having finished reading the entire thread and being thoroughly schooled by Sheldon Brown (and if you can't be, I'm freakin' impressed!), I see my error. I believe Selle Royal has purchased Brooks and Selle Italia is a different company. Goodnight. Elmo |

Does Selle Italia Make any comfortable saddles?
But I don't think I can recommend the, er, Selle Italia "Zero Comfort"
http://www.selleitalia.com/products/...php3?itemid=23 I am not making this up, or the "Zero Man," Oh my god, did you get a close look at that link? "FeC Alloy" I honestly don't know what to say and will be shortly arrested for the murder of a Marketing student. |

Does Selle Italia Make any comfortable saddles?
For folks who have sensitive parts and need good clearance of their soft
bits while still getting good support under their sit-bones: The old "Pops" or what is now known as the BiSaddle. URL: http://www.bycycleinc.com/ Their marketing stinks, but I know lots of serious riders that swear by them. Are they called "hygiene saddles" in English, too? For folks who have the same issues as the folks who use the saddles above, but also like to ride with no hands: A good cut-out model. Unfortunately, these pretty much have to be padded to take away from the sharp edges of the cut-out hole. I've had great luck fitting friends and folks with the Serfas Rx Men's or Women's. URL: http://www.serfas.com/rx_saddles/index_rx.html The Serfa Rx was a fantastic saddle for my roadster. Well, until it got stolen. Granted, it isn't as macho as the 50lbs of steel I was riding on, but now I've moved on saddles made of authentic river-worn balsam. |

that much of a loss. I am fixated on the Selle Italia Nitrox, a classic plastic narrow racer saddle that just happens to fit me perfectly. I own five copies, of which one is black and the other four are burnt orange. Yesterday at a race, a fellow rider recognized me from some other races because of that orange saddle. The burnt orange helps make the saddle undesireable and cheap; My purchase prices ranged from either C$7 or C$15 down to a low of C$2, or less than a tall mocha frapp. Components that cost less than non-alcoholic beverages rock. I've got an extra one of these babies, used twice, in case anyone wants to pick one up for the cost of six twelve-ounce alcoholic beverages. dl |
