I never had REAL problems with saddles but I DEFINITELY knew they were part of the bike after a few hours of riding and had tried a number of them in the past. I had heard about the Selle An-Atomica through some friends and found a used one on e-Bay last year. I check my mail on Saturday night after work and found it had arrived! I thought I would put it on my bike and give it a try. I got up early on Sunday for a 111 mile club ride and saw my club’s president at the start. I showed her my new saddle and told her I just got it in last night’s mail and this would be my first ride on it. She sadly shook her head and told me one never tries out a new saddle on a century ride. We arrived at the finish 8 hours later and she asked me about the new saddle. Oh, yeah, I had a new saddle and just rode 111 miles on it. Funny thing was I had forgotten about it. That is just about the best thing I can say about the Selle An-Atomica. I now have three Selles, one for each of my bicycles. Thanks for your saddles, I hardly ever think about them any more!!
