I have a Butterfly. I liked it at first. But, now after about 500 miles it is feeling just too bulky and squishy. I'm considering something firmer and less padded this season.

I've had no problem with my Butterflies breaking down. I've had one for 3 years and the other for 2 years with several thousands of miles on each.
Lots of people swear by Brooks.
I've got the Zero Y (men's) on both my bikes. Not as much padding as the fly (which I have on the tandem) - but they're both really old models and reading someone else's post about the Zero X, it seems they have padded that one a bit.
I tried switching saddles last summer when I had an "issue" but that turned out to be even more of a disaster. so I'm sticking with my Zeroes. (Which I think Knot suggested I do in the first place, come to think of it...Ah well. Live and learn.)

I have Fly's on my road bikes (the old bike's saddle is nearly 8 years old!).
I have a Butterfly on my commuter, but don't think I'd care for it for longer, harder, rides that I do on my road bike.
I have a Firefly (Dragonfly? I don't remember what it's called...but it has flames on it) on my mountainbike.
Love 'em all.
And I may buy MDHillSlug's Falcon X to see how that would be on my new road bike. Lighter...but shorter, so I'd have to do some adjusting with my saddle and I don't know if that'll mess up my fit.
Love my Terry saddles. My LBS stopped carrying them (although I think he'd special order for me if I whined enough), tho.![]()

I use the Terry Butterfly on my mtn bike, like it very much. Have a Selle Gel on the road bike... thinking of switching the two.
Has anyone tried these Selle Leather saddles?
