Good big saddle for fixie?
 
I'm looking for a saddle something like this

Bigger/more comfortable if possible.

look for a brooks, i forgot which, but they have a super fat comfy model i think its b17 or something

Crappymonkey 07-13-11 05:32 AM

I consider the charge bucket to be pretty big and Ii find it very comfortable (plus it's cheap)

That Odyssey saddle is a tiny BMX seat and not meant to be sat upon for any length of time. In other words, it will suck for any type of road bike use.

Look at women's saddles: Same look, wider at the back. Absolutely no indication that it's for the fairer sex when it's on the bike.

brooks b17 is like 170.

But it's Brooks!

B-R-O-O-K-S-!

Nothing says "I am a poseur" like a bike that has any other saddle. It's almost as bad as wearing neon lycra.

Selle Italia Diva gel flow. I've got one on my SSCX rig; it's super comfy and doesn't bust my nards if I flub a re-mount.

unless you're rocking a bike from the 1800's, GTFO with that Brooks ****.

I've always been an advocate for the Selle Italia Turbo. Works for my fat ass.

You can scour ebay / CL for the Lady Turbo. Same but wider.

hamfoh 07-16-11 02:04 PM

wow a serious amount of Brooks hate here.

if we're considering 140 wide enough for a 'fat ass' then you might as well just look at every non race saddle out there. Selle San Marco Regal is even wider than that and (imo) looks better.

Just got one of these: cheap and pretty wide: http://www.amazon.com/Origin8-Urban-...0865172&sr=8-5

What kind of complete bull**** is this? Nate gets derailleurs and suddenly becomes too cool for school.

I have a Brooks Team Pro and a Turbo. As much as I do like my Turbo, the Brooks is far more comfortable.

can't wait to put on my Brooks saddle and lose all my SSFG cred

NateRod 07-16-11 08:08 PM

I've never been down with the brooks, regardless of how many gears I'm riding.

Anyways...
