Reply With QuoteSo, you've had this saddle for a while (~2mo)...how do you like it? I'm considering this one to replace the Butterfly. Let me know how it's treated you!Originally Posted by archibella
Finally replaced my Terry Butterfly with the SLK (in white)
I definitely recommend this saddle!! The white part though... not so much. (mine is now a very light grey, lol)
Took a little getting used to, but there's none of the extra squishy-ness that became uncomfortable with the butterfly as it broke down with use. Seat is a bit narrower, cut-out is well placed, and nose is not so terribly wide that I worry about chafing.
Give it a try!! Plus it's one of the best looking women's saddles I think I've seen. Never did understand why women's saddles couldn't look as hi-tech as the men's (just personal preference)...

SLK heaven on a seatpost...
Well....just not quite the same as the lounge when you get home from a long ride, but I've ridden on this saddle now since April and I LOVE it. Seemed I didn't need time to "wear it in" either, sort of just fit and I was OK on longer rides (3-4h) straight away. Definitely suits a narrower pelvis, but for mine, it ensures minimal inside thigh rubbing and takes the pressure off the perineum.
Previously had the Selle Italia LDY sport (gel flow), which many of my female friends adore, but I found this saddle was too wide for me and no good when racing.
Definitely worth a try, highly recommended!
