Theres not much padding on them and the plastic underneath is pretty rigid so while it looks like an SLR or high end racing saddle, it acts very much like the cheap piece of tat it is.

The top is very smooth and sheer, so in the wet especially you just slide all over your saddle; its a pretty weird sensation.

They look good and sparkly (well some of them), but I would personally spend my money on saddle I wanted to sit on for a long time. I hated mine and I only paid 3 bones for it.

These are cheap saddles without much to recommend 'em and don't be fooled by the Selle Italia name, every company has at least one black sheep in its closet. Black sheep is though a very fine beer.

But I'm sure somebody out there likes 'em, thats something I've learnt about saddles. But why risk it?

And yes the graphics rub off easily, mainly cause your butts sliding all over this thing as you ride.
