Strengths: The edge guards saved it after my falls.Bottom Line: The saddle was stock with the Cannondale cyclocross disc bike. In two years and 5000 miles, the saddle has given me no problems. I've moved up to some Campy Raytech bike shorts. Let me say you get what you pay for. I never did a century in the past 25 years. one week ago I did a double century back to back. No muscle problems, and best yet no sores.
Favorite Ride: Maywood Century
Purchased At: Racine Cyclery
Bike Setup: '06 Cannondale cyclocross disc,
SRAM 11-32 rear gear cluster for the hills
Hutchinson Fusion Comp 23mm tires

Strengths: - Very comfortable (for me)
- Almost no signs of wear after several thousand miles
- Survived a crash with only minor damage to a scuff guard and a tiny scratch that got past the scuff guardWeaknesses: - Could be lighter (mine are both about 250g with ti rails)
- I still get numbness, but no pain and the numbness takes longer than usual to set inBottom Line: I don't seem to get along with seats, as my museum of unsuccessful attempts demonstrates. I expected to have to swap out this one, as usual, but since I didn't have any current favourites, I gave it a try. And I liked it. A lot. I still get numbness as quickly as with any other seat, but there's never any discomfort. I've just learned to stand up for a few seconds every couple of minutes and all's well.
For reference, I'm 150 lbs., I like my seat tilted down, and I sit right at the back of the seat.
Also, I'm basing my value rating on the current price, which is often surprisingly cheap, especially on eBay.
Favorite Ride: It's almost winter, so anything will do.
Purchased At: Came on bike
Similar Products Used: Lots, but among the ones that might interest you: SDG Bel-Air (not bad), Selle Italia Flite (terrible), WTB SSK (almost good), Selle Italia Oktavia (really, really bad), Selle San Marco Aspide (not good), Fizik Nisene (bad), SaddleCo Flow (good in the drops, otherwise bad), Titec Berserkr DH on my mountain bike (really good).
Bike Setup: Thomson post. That's about all that matters for this review.

Strengths: No pain, no pain. Nice and compact. Good little groove down the middle.Weaknesses: A little funny looking.Bottom Line: Anything feels better than an Italia TT! Holy smokes! The TT is a great looking saddle, but it's 165 grams of pure pain. The Poggio was such a relief... Maybe now my wife and I can try for the second child... Thank you Fizik!

Strengths: Semi light, soft, nice construction and looks kind of cool.Weaknesses: Too flat, no position, odd shape, just ticked my bottom off. Just a VERY odd shaped seat.Bottom Line: Well I bought the 2004 Allez Comp, it came with a Body Geometry made in Taiwan saddle. No soreness really just pinched me some and was stiff. Traded it in for another Body Geometry V seat, no more pinch, felt good, till the next ride BRUISED! Seat was way too big. Shop hands me the Fizik Poggio... looked weird but felt comfy. Rode it tonight and could only make half my 20 mile ride before it was bugging me so bad I had to stop. I adjusted it four times on the ride, no help. Too flat, I had no actual position to hold myself in, it also seemed to catch the back of my thighs. Going in for an Aliante tomorrow.
Favorite Ride: Allez Comp
Purchased At: LBS
Similar Products Used: Specialized Body Geometry stuff.
Bike Setup: Allez Comp, Ultegra, Ritchey Bars, Speedplay, Nike Poggios (now those I like)
