Oh no perhaps I shouldnt be giving advice my water bottles never match.

Oh. Maybe that's why I always buy clear water bottles. The lids don't match, and the graphics don't match - but there's no color clash. At least there's no color clash until I have a Gatorade crisis on the road and fill the bottles with different flavors!

LOL... you DO realize you're asking people that think Lycra looks good right???

I agree that if it's a saddle you like, go for it!

Oh and I did NOT get the email that water bottles are supposed to match!

hey tprevost... here's my bike... I was SURE I was gonna get made fun of, but everyone who sees it says "cool saddle" etc... this is the Breast Cancer Butterfly from Terry with pink bar tape compliments of TMobile! Of course this was back when the bar tape was still pink... now it's pinkish/brownish/gray... LOL... time to get new tape!

Gotta agree with you there Bikerchick...unless a person is one of the .005% of the population that looks spectacular in spandex, all sense of cute v. dorky is sorta moot once you step outside your door.

Queen "...unless a person is one of the .005% of the population that looks spectacular in spandex, all sense of cute v. dorky is sorta moot once you step outside your door. "

and I read that the % of dorkieness of your cycling duds increases in direct proportion to the distance from your bike.

In other words I'm one of the 99.995% who do not look spectacular in spandex but on a bike, well ok, sorta makes sense. Park the bike and walk into the store? Total dork.

So if the seat feels good get the seat, it's gonna be under your bu** anyway so if you're like me no one can see it anyway

I used to ride a yellow bike with white tape. People would ask me how I found yellow tape to match the bike! I think it was riding home from the bike shop every night with grease and whatever on my hands that converted white tape to yellow.

I love my 'aloha' saddle and don't really care what anyone else thinks. I have, however, gotten some compliments on it. Like Denise said, just make sure it fits you. I also agree with Trek about showing some personality on the bike. If you're feeling 'aloha' and it fits...why not?

You ladies are SO awesome! Thank you for giving me the bit of extra courage I needed! Actually, BikerChick, it was your bike that gave me the idea in the first place! AND, I'm going to go to the bike store where you got your tape tomorrow to check it out! I can't remember who it is but there is someone up in the bay area that has that fabulous zebra bike too! The guy at my LBS is laughing at me because I'm so excited to get my hands on my new bike but I've got a broken arm so I can't even ride it for another 3-4 weeks!

So, I'm going to go make sure that seat will work for me anf if so... I'm going to grab it!!! Thanks again for the encouragement!!!
