noseless saddles and the quest for comfort?

[KnottedYet]

I assumed she meant using (pressure against) the top bar of the bike frame, instead of the nose of the saddle. Or doesn't that make sense?

I'm still with Eden on this one, even if the "expert" meant top TUBE rather than top BAR. Anyone who would recommend that kind of contortion and distortion of proper form, ESPECIALLY while cornering, is worrisome.

(The lack of control and the need to stay in the saddle to maintain contact with the bike is why I had to give up on the noseless I bought. I don't sit like a princess; I haul the bike around with my body and shift weight all the time and am in and out of the saddle, and am generally like a monkey in a tree on my bikes.)

I disagree. you DO sit like a princess
