    Fishdr has one, and at least one other person. I know fishdr loves hers. I am saving up to get one to try out- I am also trying the Blackwell Flow. No reason- love my Vitesse, just looking for greener grass, I guess. Vitesse is getting up in years and showing signs of wear from all the rain she's been out in this year, and, of course, the new Vitesse has been changed beyond recognition, though you can still find an older one exactly like her.

    edited to add that MP is the other person I was trying to think of- but she's on the Zero Y.

    I wonder what "softer for 2006" means? Part of what attracted me to it was the firmness.

    Thanks Nanci - I hadn't seen this thread. Yes - I do have the Terry Zero X and love it! It gives good support, but doesn't squish the girlie bits and doesn't bother my sitbones. I feel very stable on it.

    They used to sell it here on TE, but I just checked and it's no longer listed. What's up with that???

    Anyway - I highly recommend this saddle. I've been meaning to do a writeup on it for "Favorite Saddles", but I haven't had a chance.

    So glad my recommendation worked. Saddles are a very personal thing...

    I owe you big for the recommendation! Your advice saved me from endless saddle testing! I'll buy you some chocolate if I make to San Franciso for the meeting. Since I'm still waiting on the call, I may still be going to the meeting, even if I do get the job

    Oops..sorry...drifting.......

    I'm definitely trying the Zero X. The Serfas tri saddle left me so sore after 40 miles over two days that I didn't even want to ride the Bianchi today. I rode the Larkspur to work. I cannot have a saddle that makes me reluctant to get on the bike!

    Thumbs up I love my Zero X

    I got the Zero X a few months ago. It was immediatly better than the specialized saddle that came on my bike! I've done my longest ride yet, of 68 miles and had no soreness.
    Can't believe I never saw this thread. I thought I'd done a search, but maybe not. I started with the Terry because of the return/exchange policy. Lucky for me I didn't have to use it.

    Is this not it, I see TE are calling it a Terry Zero Saddle, but the piccy shows the saddle says Zero X on the side of the nose.

    Or is this an older model?

    That's the one I have. I ordered it from TE the end of May. I just checked and it has been relisted on TE. I agree with you that it was not listed yesterday. Maybe they just got their new stock in?

    That's it. It wasn't there when I checked. AND - they have their 90 DAY return policy! You can't beat that!

    Ok, mine arrived yesterday. Man is it hard!!! I'm going to try it on a couple rides this weekend, but I don't know...The cut out seems nice. It's light as a feather. I got the 2005 "with less padding" which may have been a mistake.

    forgot to post....

    my LOVE for my Zero!!!! I have ridden hundreds of miles now on it and no pain (once I got it situated) It has proven great in the mountains and on looooong rides...so glad I got it!!!

    I am now looking for a new saddle for my mtbike...I think I am going to try the Zero Y because I want the clearance to get off the back of my saddle. The butterfly is just too wide and I find myself in precarious situations because I am getting caught on the rear of my saddle on sketchy descents.

    although...I will NEVER give up my butterfly on my commuter...just too darn comfy!!!
    I am a nobody; nobody is perfect, and therefore I am perfect.
