I switched from a Terry Butterfly to a Brooks Finesse. I LOVED the butterfly on my old mountain bike. But I couldn't get it to work for me on our tandem. Thom finally just bought the Finesse on the theory that if I hated it, it could go back. I didn't hate it.

When I bought a single, I put a Finesse on it. I tried putting the Butterfly on the single this winter. Brooks are heavy saddles and I was trying to lighten up my bike for a hard ride with a lot of climbing. It didn't work and the Finesse went back on.

I do still have the Butterfly on my mountain bike. It always feels a little weird to me at the start of a ride. But 30 minutes into it, I don't notice it. I don't know why it works on the mountain bike, but not the others... more upright I guess.
