I have a beach cruiser I use for grocery-getting, riding to the bike shop, riding anywhere where I would have to lock my bike up outside, etc.

I love riding this thing and many, many miles have been put on it but I think it has the most uncomfortable seat out of any bike I have owned. The seat is the one that was sold with the bike and doesn't create pain on or near the sit bones but toward the lower buttock/upper thigh where the leg leaves the saddle (if that makes any sense).

Can anyone recommend a better quality (sprung) seat?

Adjust the tilt first then buy a new seat.

How about a Brooks B67?

I will adjust the tilt first...if that doesn't work then that Brooks looks awfully nice.

There are a lot of differences between cruiser seats. I agree with trying to adjust first. Modern ones seem to me to have too much padding. I like old style type like on 50's Schwinns. They had little if any padding and leather over a formed metal pan.

The three spring style is also better.

Post a pic of your saddle.

Coker saddle isn't bad if you want an old school saddle with leather over a metal pan with triple springs. They only make so many Cokers each year and the Brooks B66, are more widely available. You really need to try out a few saddles to find the one that fits you. Even for Brooks, they have various seat widths/dimensions and nose shapes:

But as mentioned before, check and adjust the seat height and tilt. Many find their seat/saddle is too low and the seat/saddle with a slight tilt (the nose upwards/higher than the rear) is more comfortable on longer rides.

I think that the old school style is more of what I am looking for. I am a huge fan of Brooks saddles (my daily commuter has one currently) and any of the overly cushioned seats I have tried end up hurting my butt and/or legs. There is a really neat saddle that Phat Cycles makes a really nice leather and metal seat for one of their higher end cruisers, but I have yet to heart back from them.

Hello Cradduck,

My cruiser seat looked great but after
a 12 mile ride I began looking for a used Brooks
Right now I'm using a B-72 which is quite comfortable.
In the spring I may go for a B-135 as I find them to be a much
more interesting seat and it as the same "assprint" as the 67 & 72.

Cheers.

I agree. That B135 looks pretty damn cool. I think I am going to have to sell off a few of my B17's I have laying around to afford it though...haha

If you buy the Brooks be aware that like any natural leather product there will take time to "break
it in" to fit you. After that you'll have a soooooooo comfortable lifetime friend to sit on while you
ride.

I like the Brooks B-73 on mine.

Hello I-like-to-bike,

Not often seen B-73,
Nice saddle.

Cheers.

It is nice and required no break in or treatment of any kind before use and has been comfortable since day 1. I bought it new in Germany in 2000 or 2001 for DM100 (about$50) and used it on several bikes before installing on the pictured bike in 2003. I usually use this bike on the weekends for various utility chores around town. Built for comfort, not speed; like me.

Wow, sweet ride.
