I know it's been talked about before but please save me the bother of trying to find the thread...
Mrs RB and I have become official bike ponces..(not really..) we have new bikes coming and I'm wondering whether the saddles will suit us or should we get comfier ones.
There has been some tlak here about conmfy saddles so pelese can you let me know what you consider to be the comfiest saddles (men and women)?
Cheers,
RB

They are covers tho, aren't they?
You couldn't sit on one..............
use the ones off the old bikes if they suit and/or buy the same for the new bikes....
otherwise you could be searching for a lifetime for the right one for you and Jo
ps - Fizik Arione seems to be the forum favourite though.....
Cheers fb...that was the one I was thinking of...
I'll try out the one that comes with it first...
Mine is the standard road version now - I didnt bother with the ultra lightweihght one.
have thought about the tri version and perhaps for a flat course I'd give it a whirl just to reduce the numb-knob issue but so far been happy with the road one
I've got the specilaised but can't remember if it's the jett or the dolce. I had to sit on a foam seat in the middle of the store so they could measure my arse for it though. Tres embarrassing.
I had a selle italia one before that and hated it.
Sometimes I find the specialised a bitch but other times (IMF as an example) it is a dream. As Melli says, it's personal choice so try before you buy (yes, my LBS did offer me a try before you buy for a week)
I've got selle italia gel ladies saddles
I'd like to try the specialised one like Holly's if I ever get round to borrowing one from someone
Bugger off Brian!!! I was going to get yellow tyres but it would have spoiled the look...I'll be wearing yellow anyway and JTP so we will get seen OK.
Funny thing is, we only went into the shop to but Jo some bike shoes and clipless pedals.....
I've got the Spec Ruby too. Mine came with a spec Jett saddle which has taken me very comfortabley to 50 miles so far.
Woooohoooo!!!!
Just had a call from the LBS and the bikes are both ready to pick up!!!!!!
Will get them at around 5 this afternoon!!!!
Very excited!!!
