Besides my Turbo Saddle I think this may become my new favorite - and you can get them much more reasonably than the Turbos.
I just bought a pair of them for my matching Motobecanes (diamond and mixte frames). However, I won't be trying them out until later this year, when I get around to restoring those two bikes. Glad to hear the positive review.
And that raises a question that I've been pondering (sorry for the highjack). Some of my saddles are gel saddles-- specifically the Terry gel saddles. They put a thin layer of gel on the saddle, because too much gel makes things worse. However, I also have some gel shorts. Would gel shorts and a gel saddle be a bad combination (like a saddle with too much gel)?
