Selle Italia Flite Gel Saddle--- does anyone have an opinion about it?
Selle Italia Flite--- how about it???

i've also read some stuff on here about physik saddles... are they pretty good? How much am I looking at spending on one???

I ride a Selle Italia Flite and it's pretty good. I find it comfortable and it was a bargain for $20(bought it from performance the second a customer swapped it off his bike:D)

I did want to try the Fizik(correct spelling of "physik";)) Arione as I test rode a cdale with this saddle and I found it pretty comfortable on the 10mile test ride.


BTW I have heard some people say that the gel in the seats gets kind of hard and lumpy after awhile. doesn't sound too good. I have only heard this though, I haven't owned a Gel seat yet.

Saddles are a very personal thing. What works for my butt, might not for yours.

I have a different saddle on each of my bikes.

My favorite is a Salsa Zona Tres. I bought it on clearence for $15.00. Should have bought 5 of them.

i personally like the WTB rocket saddles. very aerodynamic, lightweight, but very very comfy

I just bought a WTB Power V Comp DH saddle...It's pretty heavy but really strong and very comfortable. Good for all-around trailriding and freeride applications. It's slightly wider than the Rocket.
