I just ordered one of those saddles. Not sure what I was looking at there but I hope that's not what it will look like going down the road.

Now see, that's why I ride on a Brooks. They're way too classy to publish an ad like that.

GEEZER BIKE CULT BUSTED IN INTERNET PORN STING Feds in San Diego also seize massive cache of Butt Butter, spoke nipples and white bike from alleged ringleader's home I, for one, don't know any of these people. Now that video has got me trying to figure out how to hook up the camcorder under my B67. |

Folks of color, probably don't view the video the same way. I teach at an historically Black university, and I'm pretty sure most of my students wouldn't see the underside of this saddle as skin colored.
I have about 400 miles on my Selle An-Atomica and really, really, really like it. I like it so much that I had a 20+ year old Brooks Pro modified to have the same cut out. Now the Brooks is even more comfortable than it was before. |

The Rivendell write-up on the Selle An-Atomica is very positive, but then includes a statement that I find to question whether it is worth the money. That statement is:
"For most people, a broken in B.17 is just as comfortable as an SA saddle. A small percentage will like the SA more; a smaller percentage will like the B.17 more." If I attempt to quantify this statement, I might start with saying that around 70% of the people (i.e. most people) find the Brooks and the SA to be about the same. Then of the remaining 30%, let's say that 20% of them prefer the SA and 10% prefer the Brooks. I believe this breakdown estimate is in line with what is written. I can take these numbers and turn them around to say that approximately 80% of everyone who uses a SA and a Brooks, finds the Brooks to as good or better. That is, only around 20% find the extra cost of the SA to be worthwhile. The percentages could be a little different than this, but it is unlikely they would be much different, if the Rivendell statement is true. |

I just can't help but imagining when the DVD for the Selle An-Atomica movie comes out they'll have "extras" that will include "behind the scenes" cuts and bloopers.
You know how it is, all we see is what comes out on the screen, but just imagine the side view with the camera dolly, chase cars, camera men, dolly grips and director intently focused on the, er, um, ACTION! The wacky stunts and mishaps that could occur while trying to frame the story for the audience should be fun for all ages. |

Hmmm ... thong saddles ... I wonder if there is a market ...
|
How about a stunt bottom? :)

:eek::eek::eek: !!!

The screen froze when I clicked on the link last night. I'd try it again but now I'm afraid.... :eek:

It's hard to tell what the total clearance was between the lens and the subject, but any dynamic cycling over rough roads or including sudden stops would be too great a risk for "The Talent." One second you're filming the function of the Selle An-Atomica, a split second later you're filming a documentary titled "The Colonoscopy and You." Of course a recording of the audience reaction to an IMAX preview of the film outtakes would probably have great market potential as well. :eek: |
