Do any of you use one? I just saw one on Performance Bike for 39.99. Signif. less than the Profile Design model, and it seems to weigh less at 225 grams. Anyone actually used one though? The price is hard to beat, so I'm looking for some informed opinions.

Thanks!

I got mine very cheap last year, seems to be the same thing.:)
It realy does help the taint from going leathery

Okay then, just pulled the trigger. For less than $50 I'll give it a shot. This will be my first tri saddle, so I really have no basis for comparison. Now I have to figure out whether or not I'll need a forward seat post.

I have one on my road bike with aerobars. The seat is very comfortable. I just bought a tri bike and put a Profile tri saddle on it. I'm taking it back this week!! Horrible saddle for my tender butt.

Well, I finally bought one for $39.99. I just had my first ever triathlon fit (on my road bike/ errr, make that only bike). Anyway, it felt fine. The weather has been snowy or freezing since then, so I've only ridden it on the trainer, but so far, so good. Thanks for all of the feedback!
