There is a whole bunch of threads on BF regarding this saddle. Selle An-Atomica Journal was one of the most helpful ones for me.

I just got my saddle the other day via UPS and spent the day adjusting it and riding. I have a 50-mile group ride tomorrow which will be the acid test.

Update: the saddle seems to work as advertised. I recently changed my bars and had been experiencing back pain right around 40 miles into my weekly 50-mile ride. With this saddle, I had no back pain.

I have just ordered the SA legacy for my wife. I was a little disappointed when I asked if the squeak fix has been incorporated into the newer versions of their saddle and was told no it had not. I was assured that if the seat squeaks ( apparently most do not ) the fix is easily done, we shall see.

The Selle A just arrived, so after installing it on my wifes bike we went for a ride, she liked it immediately. So its a win / win situation as i get the brooks I had one her bike previously

I bought a NIB older black B-17 from a friend for $75 and had no break-in or other issues. I guess I have a Brooks shape. It has done the KC MS 150 last fall with no soreness. I have no issues or experience with the An-Atomica.

I suspect skin care more for that , bacteria on your crotch region's
skin needs to be kept at a minimum.

I got some Surgeon's Scrub, soap.. Betadyne, and wash myself
particularly down there with that ,

and I bring 3 pairs of shorts, on tour, so I always have a clean pair
to put on in the morning..

Saddle; Brooks Pro, On wet tours and now living in a marine climate,
as often as not, under a plastic bag..

I've heard all good things about the Selle, until someone mentioned that sometimes delicate body parts can get caught in the slot. Has anyone had problems with this? Is this a guys-only problem?

I wouldn't advise you do world naked bike ride with this saddle.

Have used various Brooks saddles for a long time, have a B17, Team Pro, B68 and Imperial. Different saddles for different bikes - but all comfortable for me. I recently ended up with a saddle less Trek 520, my guys got me a Sella An-Atomic for father's day. It arrived last week, installed it on the 520. Have a couple hundred km on the SA - so far quite comfortable. Almost no break in - has been pretty humid - my only comment about the saddle is that it might not breathe as well as the Brooks. Too early to tell. Taking it on a 10 day tour starting at the end of this week - will have a better opinion at the end.

I've had two Sella An-Atomic saddles and three Brooks saddles one Imperial and two Flyers. I traded the Imperial to someone here on the forums for one of the Brooks Flyers. My wife could not find a seat that she liked and I finally convinced to try my Sella, cant get it back now its hers. My bikes now sport the Brooks. Sella is a great saddle and so are the Brooks.

I've had a couple of rides on my Titanico to-date, and I like it. My back pain is gone. The saddle is very comfortable.
