I can truthfully say nothing about the way a saddle looks thrills me. I only care about the way it feels.
The Oura looks like an interesting saddle, Crankin! I am kind of behind the times on this sort of thing as I haven't bought a new bicycle (only used) for quite a few years. So I guess I am kind of old school. I would certainly be open to trying a different type of saddle, especially if I were buying a new bike. I lust after a Silque!
