    Yeah, it's definitely too fat for mountain biking =/

    On The Contrary

    As the ad mentions, the seat is made for more level to upright type bicycles. I can assure you it's not made for racing bikes. I have it on my mountain bike. The T-Flex wings are so narrow, that it allows me to fully extend my legs without and intrusions from the seat. Examine the side profile picture in the ad and you'll see what I mean. I bike at least 20 miles a day and (Not A joy ride), I mean hard biking. It has made a huge difference since I've been using it. I definetely recommend it. My biking friend has bought one too.

    Is that even the same saddle as the one in the ebay auction? It looks totally different. I guess it's a different angle, in which case the auction guy should start using a different picture.

    Do you know how wide it is across the widest part?

    Is it hard or soft? It looks like it might be soft, but hard to tell from a picture.

    The seller has 2 models. He doesn't mention it in the ad. The one pictured above is the sport model and is slightly firmer then his cruiser model which has more padding. As I dug for more info from him, I was convinced that the sport model was the one for me because of the trimmer design. I measured the seat for you, it's 10" wide and 8" long.

    P.S. If you bid or buy, just specify that you want a Sport Model if that's what your looking for.

    Thumbs up I just bought another one.

    My old one wore out. The seller is no longer on eBay and only has about a dozen Sport Models left. PM me if you want his email. He will give Team Estrogen a discount.

    Bounceswoosh - It seems wide, but the depth of the wings on the T-Flex seat is narrow, Hence the "T" shape. The wings have jsut enough depth to give support where it's needed.
