Selle SMP discussion

Nah, hideous chaunts branding but comfortable bum makes it worthwhile (at least until I can work out what it is and buy the genuine article).

I was thinking about this :)

Not a useful picture, can you do a side shot? And take a similar photo to the SMP website would help narrow it down.

Here it is on my bike:

Excitement has come to an abrupt halt. That is UGLY.

it's an SMP, they're all hideous. Anyway, you won't care when your bum is on it.

Thanks for the link, I just ordered one. I thought I'd done enough saddle experimentation in my life, until the recent 800 mile bike tour. Definitely worth a try at that price.

Welcome to life of SMP ownership

Yeah, it was this year's dunwich dynamo which made me re-think my saddle choice.

I've got an extra and an carbon copy and I still think that's awful. Will 100% still put it on my bike and wear it with pride though.

Look like an SMP Glider copy.

Interested if you still want to sell lite209, currently have a trk on my audax bike, but would like to try narrower version!

I still have it will send some pictures over pm :)

It depends on your rear hip width. If you get on with a specialised in 143 I'd say it's ok. The nose is a good shape no chafing and cutout is wide. It also curves well like the TRK.

My spez size is 150 and I need a pro/plus.

There's apparenty a new SMP saddle called the Blaster.

interesting

The Blaster is based on the SMP Composit model but with the addition of slight padding uniformly distributed across the whole surface of the saddle. The company said the Blaster is perfect for both road and mountain biking, both men and women.

having tried dynamic and found that too narrow, blaster might be just my kind of saddle. I love my composit but def would like to have a tad bit of padding for daily riding without bibs

if its based on composit I may as well get it as I need one .. when is it out?

MSRP is $260

LOL

I'll keep eye on ebay for a composit.

I'd guess the msrp for composit is around the same? not really representative of the actual sale values

the 'new' stuff wont be cheap as soon as it comes out

The Evolution is the Composit with padding.

this looks thinner padded than evo therefore bättre

compare:

looks like less tumblehome and padding on blaster
