Specialized Milano Saddle

Price Paid:  $40.00 at CHOAKS

Favorite Ride:
yours

Summary:
Bought this seat when my BG2 got flat and felt kinda wore out. I find it to be very comfy and it would be great for someone who doesn't want to wear bike shorts. The padding is very thick and the seat is very wide. Just like any other overly padded, too wide saddle, the comfort goes away after some miles. To much material caused excess rubbing and chaffed skin. The more upright your position the more comfortable this seat will be. It also has a highly padded wide nose, which I think I set on most of the time.

Strengths:
Great for noobs, or the big of arse.
Good price.

Weaknesses:
To wide, to much padding.

Favorite Ride:
North Shore Drive

Bike Setup:
1984 Motobecane Mirage Sport, stock 12 speed, all original w/ new Conti Ultra Sport tires and the Specialized saddle.

Summary:
Put this on my vintage Motobecane training bike, after a couple 40 mile rides, I find this very comfortable, no pressure points and grippy enough as to not slide around. Nice to just be able to concentrate on turning the cranks instead of have to shift around to stay comfortable. Good support for us cylesdales.

Strengths:
Comfort, price. Good dealer.

Weaknesses:
Heavy

Favorite Ride:

Bike Setup:
'04 Trek 2100 performance.

Summary:
A very comfortable saddle. I found myself on longer and longer rides. The
TREK CRZ saddle was a real butt- buster
(stock) I wanted a resonable saddle, that
was comfortable and looked good on my bike. The Milano is doctor approuved,italian made and at $39-$42 I think a great value.

Strengths:
All of the abouve.

Weaknesses:
Its not the lightest saddle I've ever
seen.
