Trek 1000 Bike Setup:
Trek 1000 pretty much stock. Summary:
The stock Bontrager on my Trek was very comfortable, but did not have a cut out to avoid numbness, so I decided to try the Forte Pro SLX. The saddle seems like a bargain for what you get, and I found it very comfortable, especially considering how light it is. However, on rides over 50 miles I found that I am getting saddle sores. I use good shorts, lube, etc, and nothing helps. I'm going to switch to a Specialized seat and hope for better results. Strengths:
Light weight, cheap price, comfortable on short rides. Weaknesses:
Saddle sores on long rides.

Trek 5200 WSD Summary:
Bought two! Used one until it was fraying at the edges. Great, light saddle. Not as much fun for long rides and a little hard on the female phsyique. Strengths:
Light; cheap; great race saddle Weaknesses:
A little too firm for longer (3+ hours) rides

Lemond Sarthe Summary:
Purchased this saddle as it had good reviews here and at other boards. However it just did not fit me. The saddle is narrow and my backside is not narrow enough for this saddle. Strengths:
seems well built and very light Weaknesses:
if your backside is a little wider....get a saddle that is a little wider! Similar Products Used:

at performance Summary:
I am reviewing the performance forte pro sl saddle.
Have put a some miles on the saddle and have been very happy w/ it. There is plenty of support and padding in the right places for me. I haven't done more than 1.5 hours on it yet but as long as I keep moving a little I am completely comforable with no soreness. I was suprised at the quality of the saddle and for the price I am very pleased. Strengths:
Price, weight, pretty high on comfort
