That's a little nicer than all of the "icing my crotch" posts.

Yes, I tried it. No, I did not like it. I didn't think I would like it out of the box, but tried it because all of YOU gave it such rave recommendations. So, please don't assume anything.

You know, when I joined this board many years ago, it was very supportive. Now, people are looking to criticize and take offense. I even got slammed for starting a new thread on Brooks saddles (Beane saying there were "eight thousand threads" here on Brooks saddles).

Kermit - please don't call me stupid. I've been riding a road bike for 20 years and I know a few things about being comfortable. When I started riding, there were no saddles with cut outs available and I was quite comfortable. This was back when we had to rely on our LBS because we did not have extensive internet shopping. I've logged many many miles on flat saddles.

Sorry that you took my post the wrong way. But, please don't be so quick to assume - and then pile on nasty posts. It really is quite hurtful.
