    Price Paid:  $45.00 at LBS

    Favorite Ride:
    A long one

    Bike Setup:
    1980 Fuji steel frame updated with new parts.

    Summary:
    Took a little bit of time to adjust the seat angle, height but once I got it all set this saddle was very comfortable. Not much padding but the flex in the seat seems to make up for that. The rails could be a little stiffer but being 6'4' and 200 lbs I am used to stuff flexing on me.

    Strengths:
    Comfortable, does what I needed it to, act like a seat.

    Weaknesses:
    Nothing specific. Would be nice to get real leather instead of synthetic but you get what you pay for.

    Hard Rock conversion -->SS Road Bike

    Summary:
    WOW! For something that came straight off one of the best roadbikes ever made.... this sure is a terrible saddle.
    I may have gotten the wrong size, but from the one I have, it's super uncomfortable and super hard.

    Strengths:
    Looks cool

    Weaknesses:
    the pain mostly....

    This thing is like a rock pressing in all the wrong places. The top is too rounded. It presses on the peritoneum. Just plain painfull. Went to shop that has Specialized certified BG fitting. Fitted for Toupe Team which is wonderful!

    Nothing.

    Weaknesses:
    Comfort

    Price Paid:  $20.00 at Ocala Bicycle Center

    Favorite Ride:
    santos

    Bike Setup:
    Gary Fisher Paragon 29er

    Summary:
    I love this seat. I only needed three hours in this saddle before it felt totally natural. It seems to fit just right. It has just the right amount of padding, and freedom of leg movement. I ride a mountain bike and this saddle has the right combination of weight and comfort for me. Every degree of comfort gained is appreciated on a long ride.

    Strengths:
    Light, looks cool---like a stealth figher...chicks dig it!

    Weaknesses:
    None

    Price Paid:  $70.00 at Cyclo-Path

    Favorite Ride:
    Temecula Wine Country (CA)

    Bike Setup:
    Look 555 with Ultegra components, Rolfprima Elan Wheels

    Summary:
    After 450 miles on my Selle San Marco Ponza I decided enough was enough. After sorting through the marketing and racer wanna-be hype I decided to test the science behind the Bontrager Inform R. Needless to say they have hit the ball out of the park with this saddle.

    Strengths:
    Very comfortable, the saddles shape is just right offering support wear support is needed and no resistance to the soft bits that other saddles seem to be so adept at. The saddle virtually disappears beneath you and lets you concentrate on what matters most...the miles and the road ahead.

    Weaknesses:
    May weigh a little more than other saddles but when you can focus on your ride and not the pain in your rear...well what matters most to you?
