Posts like yours are the reason. Someone asks a question about noseless saddles and instead of getting replies from people who have actually used one, they get you guys making them feel like heretics for even asking. Its almost a religious reaction. You've always used horned saddles and so everybody should use them and anything else is just plain poppycock!
I've been using a noseless saddle for my commuter bike for a year and can say without a doubt that yes there some loss of control, but it is well worth it to have feeling in my toes and more private areas. I haven't used either of the saddles that were asked about here and was hoping to get feedback from people who have used them. How about you let them post and you go to the horned saddles are the only saddles for me forum and hang out.
