I've been riding for close to forty years. I bought an SA about eight months ago and it has totally changed my cycling. I have never felt this much comfort. In fact, I don't feel anything now when I ride. Nirvana, that has increased my mileage, my speed and my joy of cycling. A real eye-opener and I'm in LOVE. This is probably the best money I have ever spent on cycling...other than my bike itself, a LOOK 585. FYI, I 'm 5'5" at 135lbs. Your butt may be different, but don't worry about the weight (or the looks) of the saddle...just try one.
