I use whatever saddle I happen to salvage off bikes that are in my garage. Right now I think I have one off an old specialized BMX...its pretty comfy, though I think eventually I'll buy a decent one.

I can take better pictures tomorrow if you're heartset on seeing more of where I sit.

ah, ok. haha, ummm, well, I had one on a couple BMX bikes and promptly got rid of em. I think they are mad uncomfortable. I suppose it depends on how picky you are. If you have one, stick it on and give it a shot, if not, I wouldnt spend money on one.

shants had one; he said it was fine for rides under 20 mi. but....i'm not sure how long it took him to switch it out or if he has.

I always thought BMX saddles were mostly there so the rider can clutch it between their legs when doing tricks or whatever. Not for sitting on. So that kind of saddle on a track bike seems...obsolete.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

i have a plastic dyno saddle that i've had on a number of BMX bikes since like '88. it's kinda of a gag now that i have to put it on every bike and rock it for the first few days, mostly since i've had it so long (DAMN! about a month or so shy of 20 years!!!) and it's never gotten tossed or broken.
it seriously hurts my gooch though after about 5 miles.

i run a black elina bmx saddle on my makino, a blue kashimax aero on my mountain bike, and a white kashimax aero on my vivalo. they are the tits. for very long rides (50+), i use something with some padding.
