Does anyone know how a

This, from Harris Cyclery (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/saddles/lepper-ti.html):
"The Lepper Voyager was a nice saddle in many ways, but we had an excessively high return rate due to breakage of various parts of the undercarriage."

Thanks for the info from Harris. Think I'll stay away from this.

I had no problems with mine but a B17 is more comfortable for me. There were/are 2 models of Voyager, differing in width.
