what's all this palava about the price of shorts ?
anyway, im really interested in this thread cos i would like to know what people use for the longer rides, since my arse is very sore on the Specialized centre cutout saddle after 20+ miles. it has a dip in it so i can't really vary the position which is really annoying.
Interestingly the most comfortable saddle so far has bee then plastic Brooks Vitesse i had that i had to throw away cos it cracked down the middle. only cost me £1 but it allowed me to shift fore and aft whilst riding.
I compensate with lots of talcum powder which works wonders, but if i could avoid all that and get a comfortable saddle to begin with it would be great.
The B17 and the Arione seems to be the ones,
but blimmey are they expensive to buy without knowing if they will be good or not.
So if there was a store of test seats to try out would be an excellent idea.
