Bikes: Current favorites: 1988 Peugeot Birraritz, 1984 Gitane Super Corsa, 1980s DeRosa, 1981 Bianchi Campione Del Mondo, 1992 Paramount OS, 1988 Colnago Technos, 1985 RalieghUSA SBDU Team Pro

From the mid 70s until about 5 years ago I rode Brooks Pros on most of my road bikes. I'd tried dozens of saddles before I found the Brooks Pros.



I used an Avocet Gel MTB saddle on my off road bike.

The ~1992 Avocet gave out and I replaced it with a WTB Pure V saddle. I liked it so much that I replaced several of the Brooks Pros on my road bikes with them.



About 3-4 years ago I started having severe prostatitis anytime I rode over 20-30 miles. Two years ago I went through the Goldilocks saddle routine again.

Several WTB saddles helped me considerably: the Devo/Diva and Silverado models worked well for me.







I was surprised that these saddles were so comfortable because they're so thin. The hard padding in the rear fits my "sits" points perfectly and the "love channel" relieves pressure in the middle.

Everyone's posterior is different.... YMMV
