I decided to try the Terry Liberator Ti Race saddle instead. So far I am liking it. Compared to the Liberator it's been more comfortable on my girly parts and equally comfortable everywhere else. Two minor complaints: the leather is more slippery than what I'm used to so it's a little harder to stay in the "sweet spot" (I'm assuming that'll improve as the leather gets broken in); I like the narrower nose, but I didn't really need it to be longer.Quote:

I did 57 miles on Saturday and the Falcon felt much better than the other saddles I've used. No chafing at all- didn't even irritate the groin cyst that the padding on the zero and butterfly had given me. Seat bones were sore, but I figure that's normal when going from very padded saddles to a pretty minimal one like the falcon. For the first time in the 1500 miles I've had my bike, I felt like I could just sit & relax instead of fidgeting to try to keep everything feeling right.
