Its been years since i have ridden my bike and mines gone a bit hard!
I used to like selle italia flite saddles back in the 90's i think i had the first model they made in the flite range lol
there seems to be alot more to choose from now so i want to buy a decent saddle...
any pointers, links or pics will be great
ive got a mega light U.S.E seatpost to sit it on, but again the older model with an aluminim rocker clamp - my bike sounds ancient now! lol

Hi....Try the Specialized Toupe or the slightly cheaper Alias. Come in 3 sizes depending on your bones size! Cheers mateAnother tree...another cracked rib!!0

hmmmm
i like the drop nose, it looks pretty comfy compared to an oldskool flite
ive never used a saddle with this type of center groove in it - does it make alot of difference for weight or comfort?0 -

I have a Specialized Ti rail Phenom (MTB version of the toupe) very light and comfy, but saddles are a very personal item, one that suits me may not suit you.2009 Cove Handjob

Look at the genuine SDG I beam seat posts and saddles."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

i got a WTB pure saddle in the end - it looked pretty comfy on the shelf and.... yep its comfy!
not as light as my flite tho but that was like sitting on a rock!0 -
I'm not an MTB'er but do the words "comfy and light saddle" really belong in the same
sentence???
