Stan,
Do you think the dropped nose actually does anything to improve comfort?
I personally never ride "on the rivet" so it wouldn't do much for me (I don't think).
I guess I'm just missing the whole theory behind the dropped nose, make it easier to remount from standing (not catching shorts on nose,) sure, comfort not so sure.
And I'm with Tmar, it could be the most Butt-ugly saddle in the world, but if it matches
that with comfort I'm all for it.
