Selle Italia or Terry Butterfly

CyclChyk · 09-08-2006, 08:42 PM

Ok - got another one of those annoying saddle questions.

Anyone with experience with the following two???

Selle Italia Lady Gel Flow
Terry Butterfly Tri Gel

I am currently using the Serfas Niva and though its nice and wide, its justa tad too wide and a tad too squishy. And sadly, I now feel for any man suffering jock itch............ but that's another post altogether.

Also please forgive me if I offend any Brook activists by saying this, but I will not be swayed to the Brooks side. I just don't get the warm fuzzies when I look at Brook Saddles. I may be short changing myself and find it in the long run to be a lesson learned the hard way, but for now its a risk I'm willing to take.......

Feel free to cattle prod me if I ever eat those words.

I've got a Butterfly (non-gel) on my commuter and love it. My commute is ~15 miles round trip and I've frequently done rides up to 45 miles on this bike. No problems for me.
I have a Terry saddle on all my bikes, including a men's Fly on my road bike and a Firefly on my mountainbike.
I won't put anything else under my posterier.

I ordered the Selle Italia Lady Gel Flow from TE last week (shipping was FAST) and I'm fortunate to say that the saddle fit my butt perfectly. The old saddle I had on my fixed gear conversion gave me chafing problems after two or three miles. I've been riding around in this saddle, including a group ride, and have encountered no painful problems.

The only complaint I have is that the saddle was a bit slippery during the first ride, but it's better now.
