Saddle Survey...

Could be wafer-thin? sitting is difficult? Ever tried sitting on a bus-stop seat for any lenght of time?

Only jesting.

I sorta meant the saddle-seatpost interface thing on this one - for example having a pivotal system or integrated saddle/post would make assembly easier. I didn't make this clear though... well caught out.

Thanks for the response!

no worries,

Q1: Regarding saddles, which of the following do you consider the most important? (please choose one)
[strike]- Aesthetics[/strike]
[strike]- Comfort/ergonomics[/strike]
[strike]- Aerodynamics[/strike]

• Lightness (in terms of weight) - Fuck comfort, if itll make me get quicker to where im going ill have time to spare to complain about my squashed gonads once i get there
  [strike]- Strength/durability[/strike]
  [strike]- Ease of use[/strike]
  
  

Q2: Again regarding saddles, please choose 2:

• Strong
  [strike]- Cheap[/strike]
  
• Light
  
  

Q3: Please mark on the following scales how important you feel the saddle/seatpost attributes are in comparison to each other (mark '5' if you think they are equally important.
Mechanical/visual simplicity ----3------------ Adjustability
Strength/durability ----------------9 Lightness (in terms of weight)
Aesthetics ------4---------- Sustainability/environmental issues
Traditional ----------6------ Modern
**Comfort **--------------8-- Aerodynamics/streamlining

**Q4: Finally, is anyone else scared shitless of these?
***Dude, you too? Im fucking scared of that shit, what the fuck is that? I figured it would go away after a while but it just keeps on coming back and stealing milk from my fridge. I want my milk in the morning god DAMN IT!
I figured it was a big hairy cat but then i noticed my underwear started dissapearing every night.
**Maybe its just my ex back in town.

take it easy Dave, hope these help for your project

**Comfort **1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9 Aerodynamics/streamlining 1, because you're sitting on it anyway

Basically, brooks is the way forward, so that's comfort sorted, then you get titanium rails and you have the weight sorted.

Done.

Fuck you, girlfriend :p
