    The Seat

    That odd saddle that I got at Bike Expo is called THE SEAT. I put it on my bicycle and cannot get it to go back far enough to be correct for my knees. So I'll be offering it around to people here in town. I don't know if it's comfortable or not! I'm still trying to decide between the Jett and Liberator Ti Race that I have. I'm not sure either is the answer. I really like the looks of that red Selle that TE has the Lady Gel Flow. Any thoughts on that one? I've also been looking at the new Terry Zero. So much confusion. I just wish my hynie could speak up and say which one is best for it!!!

    I now have the Falcon X - it is a little less padded than the one I was using but the cut out is wider which is great, I have only used it on the trainer so far, but this weekend s/b in the 70's so road watch out, I will get a better feel for it then.

    Every saddle I have tried on the trainer after about 40 min or so I get numb, I suppose b/c you don't really have to stand up on the trainer is the reason.

    I'm anxiously awaiting a road review of this saddle. I can't seem to find it locally so I don't want to waste a mail order run.

    I currently have a Selle San Marco Atena but I'm interested in trying one of these split saddles.

    falcon

    I'm curious about this one too. My issue is that the butterfly was too wide thru the nose, and the fly was much better, but the cut out on the men's wasn't lined up right with my bits.
    Crediamo in te, bici!

    I finally go to ride outside on my Falcon, love it!!!! The cut out is just right not as much cushion as my Velo but I didn't find it uncomfortable. ONly thing I did seem to have happen is that the nose kept grabbing my shorts when I got on the saddle which is weird b/c it is just a little shorter than my Velo which I don't remember it doing that.

    I rode 33.5 miles Sat. and had minimal discomfort, mainly my butt just isn't used to that long of a ride yet

    I think tho I may have to change to my velo for centuries! to keep the cheeks happy

    Great news! Give it a few rides. After one ride with my Selle SMP I was sure my hiney was going to be very unhappy even though the girly bits were great. But after a couple more rides, everything was good. I still have some tushie soreness, but only on long rides, which I'm not doing every week, so I know I just need to keep toughening up that part.
