The minute I sat on it I wasn't sure there was even a saddle under my bum...it literally felt like air. This was nothing I had ever experienced! I was tickled!
I was already professionally fitted for my bike so now I'm just tweaking the saddle to find the perfect fit. I now know I can ride the STP with little seat pain.
If you're interested, call Tom (the owner) at Selle An-Atomica (707)372-6540. He was extremely helpful with saddle selection as well as information regarding the design of his saddles.
Yes. It is the least obtrusive saddle I have ever ridden. We bought five and have them on all our bikes. I love it.
