I have Selle Anatomica Titanico Saddles on 3 bikes and a Brooks B5N on one.
Saluki w/bars above saddle: S-A without the cut out, for light riders: Most comfy saddle ever, but stretched to the max soonest. Leather starting to crack around the rivets after 5 years of wear. Can be sent back for new leather. Road and Rambouillet have S-A with cut out, heavy rider version. Both fine after a number of years. Handlebars just above saddle. Reasonably comfy from day one, but seriously comfy after a month or two. Maruishi (for Nashbar) crit racer set up with tall stem and M-bars. B5N was an OEM saddle shaped like a B17N with pebbled top and thinner leather. Got one NOS and treated it with Obenauf's before riding it. Actually a pretty nice saddle. These come up on Ebay from time to time. Saddles I rode and took off to put on the shelf: 2 Brooks B-17s, a Team Pro and a Gyes road saddle (god awful POS). I just don't like the B17 all that well, despite the fact that many love them. > On Thursday, August 15, 2013 10:21:41 PM UTC-7, Michael wrote: >> >> Since I asked about shorts, I thought I'd ask about saddles, too. >> >> 1.
