Summary:
I purchased this saddle on the advice of the LBS. I am a LARGE rider, 5'9" 200lbs. I have a Trek 5200 that came stock w/ a Selle San Marco Era Luxe. I have tried many different types of padded shorts/bibs and have settled on the Giordana's Silverline Bibs. Although they helped, I would still get soreness/aches in that area that this saddle (Serfas Dorado MX-1) is supposed to address. On longer rides, 20miles or more the aches were too much for me to handle on the Selle saddle. After riding 15 miles last night on a test drive, this Serfas Dorado MX-1 was very comfortable and for the first time I was able to be more concerned with my cadence and workout(s) on the bike. After the ride I noticed I was not sore at all. Today I'm going on a longer ride and will hope to see more of the same comfortable riding.
