Price Paid:  $13.00 at LBS

Favorite Ride:
Chestnut Ridge Gap

Bike Setup:
2008 Specialized Roubaix w/Shimano 105
1995 Bianchi w/Campy Mirage

Summary:
The Plateau gets along well with my particular bottom geometry. The saddle is a wee bit softer than I'm used to riding comfortably, but it distributes the weight so it's firmly on my sit bones, and easy on the sensitive areas. I found some real problems with the cutout on the Specialized saddle that was riding which irritated the places on the edge of the cutout. It's reasonably light.

After 2 weeks, including a 2.5 hour ride, I'm happy enough to buy a second one for my other road bike.

Strengths:
- Works well with my bottom
- Light
- Hard plastic bumpers for leaning against abrasive surfaces

Weaknesses:
- Looks--not quite as sexy as slimmer saddles
