I found just the opposite to be true with my swift. I am not saying I am 100% sure that the swift I currently ride is the most comfortable saddle I have ever ridden, but it is comfy. I also was very hesitant to purchase one because of the reasons MrPolak gave, but finally gave in. Is it my favorite saddle, no way because my butt will always love concors, but for the price for one NOS, the swift was in the ballpark.
