Selle SMP discussion

Does anybody have an SMP that I could try out? Or a cheaper one I could buy?

Slightly lost when it comes to model..

go see @scherrit @ the bike whisperer.

Try Cloud 9 Cycles

SMPs for sale here https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/335976/#comment14822158

new logos are not as offensive.

It wear in nicely after a while, can't see it anymore.

Any Selle SMP plus for sale?

My bike got stolen... I'll make do with a SMP Trk (chafes a but) or Pro (slightly too narrow for MTB position) for now so no mad rush.

If anyone is interested I will have a used Dynamic for sale in the next couple of weeks as I'm updating with a newer design one

Forma and composit for sale here

Anyone else have problems with the embroidery? It's slowly eating up my cheap bibs :(

nope

Yeah my old composit eats up my shorts as well. I find that it doesn't happen as much once the saddle has been adjusted properly though

I've been thinking to trade my Forma for another SMP of the composit family : composit, blaster, evolution or stratos. Not that confortable on the forma... Is someone interested ? (Saddle is in France)

Saddle has been traded !

The aliexpress clampdown has really worked. I'm looking for a mildly padded one. Found three so far, one is full carbon, one has red on it and the other is sold out. Gaaah.

There are some on eBay now.

Thanks, I was looking for one with a bit of padding, like the pic on the scales here:

Fair enough. Have you tried ones without padding? Although not perfect my forma is the best saddle I've found.

Yeah I've had a couple variations on shape of full carbon fakes, have got along with them fairly well. I've stripped an Extra and put it on my surly, and while it looks better than the original Extra does, I've found myself only using it in padded shorts. I commute on this bike so would like something between an Extra and not-padded but also <£40

Still have lite 209 for sellz

Switched to Dynamic.

How much are you looking for?

I'd love to try an SMP.

Has anyone tried their triathlon line of saddles? My forma is comfortable on my road bikes but not so much when I'm on aerobars for hours on end.

Managed to grab one in new condition from eBay for £90. At least if I don't get in with it I should be able to get most of my money back.

95£

Thanks! Since that point I've actually booked a saddle fit, so I will report back afterwards...

My forma rails came loose at the front. Back for warranty. I’ve been lent a test saddle while I wait.

Bought myself a full carbon lite second hand. I haven’t seen any Chinese knock offs with this model so I should be safe?

My wife bought a new bike (genesis longitude) and I have convinced her to try an Selle SMP saddle instead of her spoon. Bought a Well (well, hell) and I’m really impressed with the quality. Looks cheap in pictures but much smarter IRL.
