Price Paid:  $140.00 at Nashbar

Favorite Ride:
Boston To Cape Cod

Bike Setup:
Waterford RST 22. Centaur 10 with compact. Aksium Wheels

Summary:
Rode a Terry Fly for years. After chafing really badly on the last century, I remembered that I rode a hard leather saddle for years before the succession of high tech saddles ending with the Fly. Mounted this and was instantly comfortable. Great power and NO CHAFING. I'm a believer.

Strengths:
Comfortable right out of the box. Can't wait to see what its like broken in. Beautiful workmanship to go with my Waterford.

Weaknesses:
Its leather so it needs TLC. Heavy if that really matters.

Similar Products Used:
