Just wanted to send a quick note letting you know that i could not have been on a better seat during the MS-150 from Houston to Austin. I was skeptical about changing seats before the ride, but knew I had to do something. I had to ride in cowboy boots because I set a goal of $5000 in donations for all my friends and made it. My feet were sore after the ride, however, my butt was not! Thank you so much for helping with that. I would gladly recommend the seat to all my friends.

I purchased my first Selle-Anatomica saddle a number of years ago (probably one of the first ones made) and have had many comfortable km's of riding on it. If fact the saddle was so comfortable I raved about it to many who belonged to our cycling club. I believe there are 12 in the club with a Selle-Anatomica saddles. I weigh 170lbs and in time and a lot km's (including one PBP) the saddle has stretched to the screw limits. Because of the great distances and number of km I travel each year I have opted to purchase the Titanico X for my randonneuring bike. I will put my old Titanico on my road bike and continue to enjoy riding on it. ]]>After 5 yearsuser@domain.comBlog2012-05-03T17:12:54-07:00http://www.selleanatomica.com/blog/files/after-5%20years.html#unique-entry-id-34http://www.selleanatomica.com/blog/files/after-5%20years.html#unique-entry-id-34
I bought my first Titanico back in November of 2006. I believe it was close to the introduction but I could be mistaken. It's still going strong after 5 years and thousands of single-speed miles.

I'm in the market for a second saddle. This one for a different bike. I came to your site and noticed that Tom had passed away. I'm very sorry to hear that and offer my condolences. When I bought my first saddle it was necessary to turn the adjustment screw almost all the way out (I weighed 230# at the time). I was concerned enought to email Tom who quickly replied and offered a new saddle but asked me to keep the first one to see how long it would last.

He talked to Ed at Monarch and Tom and Ed both called me on the phone over the next few days to talk about the saddle. I was extremely impressed with their desire to create the best saddle possible. And both seemed like very cool guys.

Fast forward 5 years and my saddle has never needed more adjustment. It has maintained its same shape the entire time--despite me adding a few pounds after an injury. A couple of years ago I had a good (and large) friend looking for a saddle. I still had my brand-new replacement Titanico saddle on the shelf so I loaned it to him. He really liked it! In fact about a year later he moved from the area with *my* saddle still attached to his bike :-)

I don't really know why I'm writing this other than to express my thanks for Tom's kindness--I wish I could have done it before he passed. ]]>Great Productuser@domain.comComfort2012-04-30T12:09:22-07:00http://www.selleanatomica.com/blog/files/great-product.html#unique-entry-id-33http://www.selleanatomica.com/blog/files/great-product.html#unique-entry-id-33
I just wanted to let you know that I purchased one of your "Titanico" models last fall and put it on my road bike. I tried it out for the first time on a longer ride this past weekend. After 150 miles, my
rear was still comfy; no numbness; no chaffing. You really have a great product.....much better than Brooks in my opinion. I really like how your saddle flexes, yet retains its shape AND the waterproofing means no more funny shower caps on my seat.

Thanks for making a great product!]]>Go with the flowuser@domain.comComfortOutdoors2012-04-25T13:36:19-07:00http://www.selleanatomica.com/blog/files/go-with-the-flow.html#unique-entry-id-32http://www.selleanatomica.com/blog/files/go-with-the-flow.html#unique-entry-id-32
I occasionally use my bike to run shuttle on whitewater trips, This usually just involves leaving my gear with someone at the put-in, driving to the takeout and riding back. On April 23 2012 we had a late snow that left about 8" on the ridgetops, and due to this storm the State Park Rangers in Ohiopyle would not open the gate to the takeout. Without any maintenance down the long hill to the river they thought, better leave it closed or we'll be pulling someone out later. It was highly unlikely that someone would go out on the river in freezing rain while the water temp was around 46 degrees anyway.

I had planned to paddle regardless of weather, I've been out in worse conditions and had hoped to get some photos of snow along the riverbanks. The Youghiogheny Gorge is a good insulator, so there wasn't any snow at the river, just rain and beautiful spring green unlike up on the ridges.

Just as the park determined it would be highly unlikely that anyone would go on the river, I thought it highly unlikely that I would be carrying around 70 pounds of cumbersome gear up a 2 mile hill with around 500 feet of elevation gain. As I mentally cancelled my "pedal-paddle" I thought about how I had always wanted to try the reverse method. A bit of simple rigging with a 12' camstrap and a flat bungee was all it took to put my Salsa Fargo across the back of my Shredder (the Cadillac of whitewater craft with Ferrari handling) My Fargo has a steel frame, but I use framesaver, and I wouldn't have felt as comfortable about taking my Brooks saddle out there. Otherwise the bike was a fantastic companion for the day.

The river was all mine, in the summer this stretch of class 2-4 (depending on level) whitewater sees thousands of paddlers. I ended up only seeing an otter, some kingfishers, a hawk, and the usual Mergansers. I tried to take some pictures, but the mix of precipitation (never a bad thing) made it less than ideal for the equipment. That, and the mid 30's temps encouraged me to keep paddling, soon I had run the 7.5 miles to Bruner Run.

I made quick work of the packing and loading as it was windy at the takeout. I had dry cycling gear in my pannier bag, but stripping down to change seemed like a bad move, besides... the Mergansers were watching. My paddling spraypants are nylon with a plastic lining that is a bit tacky, and it tends to make any layer underneath(polypro)grab and bunch up. I quickly realized due to the weight on my rear rack that anything other than seated riding was not worth the instability.

My saddle was wet from the river and I was basically going to ride 8 miles seated with a cold wet ass covered in plastic wrap. All I can say is absolutely flawless, this was only my second ride of the year so the bottom bits weren't exactly up for the game. I expected to warm up after a few miles and then change into my dry bike shorts but I never felt the need. I weigh about 240, add another 10 pounds of gear and put that on a wet single laminate Titanico, NO PROBLEM. After much apologies and some love in the repair stand that night I took my Fargo out for a sunrise ride the following day. I only wish I had found this saddle years ago.

I try to spread the good word of An-Atomica, but those who will listen are broke-ass outdoor guides who understand, but need that money for the basic essentials (Pabst Blue Ribbon) and others have rarely used bicycles valued less than the saddle itself. I almost hate calling it a saddle as it is really two comfortable individual butt hammocks. For those not in the know, oh well, those who have ridden do. And every once in a while don't forget to take your bike for a ride... down the river.]]>Project 999user@domain.comCharity Rides2012-04-18T13:25:04-07:00http://www.selleanatomica.com/blog/files/project-999.html#unique-entry-id-31http://www.selleanatomica.com/blog/files/project-999.html#unique-entry-id-31
To start out I want to say that I recently took possession of my custom built Torelli Corsa Strada built by Jesse at Adrenaline Bike Shop in Orange County Ca.

The morning I picked up the bike, I couldn’t believe my eyes it was a piece of art. While at the shop, something caught my eye. It was this very cool classic looking leather saddle. I asked Jesse about the saddle and true to his nature he told me exactly what he thought of the saddle. I've known Jesse a few years now and we both share a passion for classic steel bike frames and quality leather saddles. Without hesitation, he said it was a Selle An-Atomica and he just put one on his Torelli Cross bike. Jesse then said it was the most comfortable saddle he had ever ridden.

Well, I looked over to my new bike and perched atop the seat post I saw what I believed to be a quality saddle and by today's standards it was. I have always ridden on leather saddles but this time I wanted to shave a little weight. That all changed after my first 40+ mile ride on that light Italian saddle, my rear-end told me it was never going to work out.

At 6'4'' / 250 I am not a small guy by any stretch and last year I rode a respectable 5000 miles so to me comfort is definitely an issue.

That is just the first part of the story.

I have been a law enforcement officer for 23 years. This year, I decided to ride with the Project 999 team during it’s 600 mile charity ride from the State Police Officers Memorial in Sacramento California to The Orange County Police Officer Memorial at it’s current home in Santa Ana California (soon to be moving to Tustin CA site of the Police Academy). Each rider who participates must collect $1500.00 in donations. The ride takes place on May 18th and ends on May 22.

Project 999 is a charity that helps the families of those officers who have given their lives while in the commission of their duties. In Orange County there have been several over the years. In fact my academy classmate Robert Henry of Newport Beach Police Department and my friend and co-worker Brad Riches of The Orange County Sheriff's Department both were shot and killed in the line of duty.

Well the thought of riding 600 miles in five days on the high end feather light italian saddle started to make me doubt my chances of finishing the ride. I could have gone back to my old leather saddle, but...

So on a whim I decided to give Selle An-Atomica a call an ask for a donation for the ride (completely on the up and up and tax deductible). I spoke to Ryan, I told him who I was, all about Project 999 and what I was trying to accomplish. Without hesitation and to my surprise, Ryan said Selle An-Atomica would be happy to donate a saddle for the long 600 mile journey.

This past Saturday I received the saddle in the mail and quickly took off the light weight butt burner and installed the Selle An-Atomica saddle. The next day I purposely rode the same 40+ mile route I had previously done with the other saddle and it was a major difference. I not only love it, I will never ride another saddle other than a Selle An-Atomica.

The saddle is perfect right out of the gate, there is no real break in needed and I could have kept riding all day without fear of that soreness from my previous saddle.

I am currently training for my 5 day 600 mile ride. I feel like my only limitation will be my stamina and not my saddle.

So, I really want to thank Ryan and Selle An-Atomica for their donation to this great charity and it says a lot about the company and their commitment to great causes such as Project 999.

Asking for donations is always difficult. As a small company trying get established in a very crowded saddle industry, you have to focus all of your energy in to selling every saddle you make. I believe, thats what makes this story a good one and I will end with this: If there is a better bicycle saddle on the market, God has kept it for himself.

Thank you,

I bought the Titanico X for my 1981 Schwinn Super LeTour and I love it. I just received my second one and mounted it on my 1972 Schwinn Touring Paramount P15-9. I may buy a couple more for my 1973 Paramount and my 1972 Schwinn Sports Tourer.

We purchased 2 of the Titanico's after test riding them at a tandem shop. We had 2 placed on ours and it was if we went from pain to riding on air. I would always be numb down below after any intense ride. Since installing the Titanico's this disappeared on the first ride. Our third ride was a 60+ miler on rollers and some rough roads at times. All good. My stoker/wife has had no pain at all and is loving the seat. $189 x 2 is a lot to put out on seats but it is by far the best $400 upgrade we have done to the bike. I will be going to purchase another for my single very soon!

I've seen many of their saddles on Rando rides in the west. Now I know why so many Rnados swear by the S-A-A. It's almost as if no saddle is touching your body. Absolutely the best saddle I've ever owned. My first ride was a 100 Km up and down roller. No issues no pain all fun.

…when i left the show, i swapped the saddle out there on the sidewalk and rode it back to my hotel. HOLY SHIT. the streets in sacramento aren’t as pitted and deadly as in SF, but there are plenty of opportunities to go over bumpity-bumps, and i took every one. it’s amazing, even with a sore ass, i felt nothing. not to mention i could still feel the saddle giving and moving with my body as i pedaled.

Where do I start?
I've been a Roadie (on and off) for 35 yrs. I'm not Cat racer, but I've done my share of "epic rides". Vail Pass, France..lots of roadie themed vacations (my wifes a saint)...
I tried counting up the amt of saddles I've owned..I stopped at 30...and I know there's more.
Fizik, Selle Italia,San Marco, Serfus, etc.
I was building my "mid life", lifetime, bike a few yrs back (Moots/Red/ Dura Ace wheels-tubeless/ Winwood bar...the works).My dealer mentioned a Selle Anatomica. I watched the on line video and bought into the tech behind it ( I'm not techie..it made plain sense)
My saddles all start the same..20 mls, great; 30 mls, a bit sketchy, 40 mls, replace my crotch/butt. Like most type "A" males..(what roadie isn't?)...no compaints..however, i stopped looking to do anything over 40 mls at a time..
Then came.. Selle Anatomica...whoa....where have you been all my life?
Before I purchased , I read Craig Calfee's review; he talked of a century +, 2 days after he bought it..no pain...I thought to myself, this I have to try...Craig, you were 100% right.
30, 40, 60, 100....my engine may not be what it needs to be( and if the truth be told, it's pulling a larger chassis)...but my butt is just fine thank you..I have one on both of my bikes..I'll never own another saddle...I'll sign off now..think I need to "pamper my butt" and ride my bike.

I've been riding on my Clydesdale Titanico for several years now, and ever since day one, I found it to be the most comfortable saddle I've ever owned.

Two years ago I was involved in a serious work related accident that left me with a disability in my left leg. I suffered a high pressure water injection injury to my left groin from a hydrolance operating at about 10,000 PSI, severing my femoral artery, femoral vein, femoral nerve, and totally destroying all the soft tissue in my upper left thigh. The trauma surgeon later told my family that the only thing he could compare it to was a point blank 12 gauge blast.

After dozens of surgeries, 52 units of blood products, and a year of physical therapy, I was still able to ride my bike, but the problem was my Titanico felt too wide for me because of the injury. I tried adjusting it every way possible, but just couldn't find that sweet spot.

I tried several different saddles; thinner, softer, firmer, but just couldn't find one that worked. I was about to sell my bike and purchase a recumbent, so I decided to put the Titanico back on, as it matches the bike.

Reluctant to sell it, I took it for a ride. I don't know what I did different as far as adjusting the saddle, but I was able to ride comfortably with little pain for further than I had since before my injury. It was incredible! I went from being in the market for a recumbent (and due to the nature of my disability, a recumbent trike), to ridding like I did before my injury, except maybe a little slower.

A month ago for my 30th birthday, my brother and I rode from my house in Homestead, Florida to Key West; 135 miles. I believe that is a testament to the quality and ergonomics of the Titanico, and that due to the nature of my injury with the amount of nerve damage, and tissue loss, I would be able to provide feedback that would go along way towards finding out if the X will live up to the Titanico name.

I was complaining about my new carbon saddle after a Saturday morning club ride. I selected this saddle thinking that more expensive would mean a better product. A rider I met that day listened to my story, then promised he would bring one of his Selle An-Atomica saddles for me to test ride when I saw him the following week. He did, along with the installation instructions, and told me I could try it for as long as I needed. After months of riding on this wonderful perch, I ordered my own and returned his, along with a nice bottle of red wine. What amazed me most was that this man I had just met trusted me with one of his saddles. Truth is, he believes so much in the product that he knows anyone who tries one, will buy one. (or more) He made a believer out of me! ]]>Titanico Xuser@domain.comAnnouncementsTitanico X2011-10-10T00:41:37-07:00http://www.selleanatomica.com/blog/files/47049ab94004ad7574eab04f82b9afa2-12.html#unique-entry-id-12http://www.selleanatomica.com/blog/files/47049ab94004ad7574eab04f82b9afa2-12.html#unique-entry-id-12application. ]]>Duh, what saddle?user@domain.comComfortNo Break In2011-09-30T21:02:25-07:00http://www.selleanatomica.com/blog/files/duh_what_saddle.html#unique-entry-id-11http://www.selleanatomica.com/blog/files/duh_what_saddle.html#unique-entry-id-11I 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!! ]]>Things I Like: Selle An-Atomica Titanico Saddleuser@domain.comReviews2011-09-30T11:17:55-07:00http://www.selleanatomica.com/blog/files/things_i_like.html#unique-entry-id-10http://www.selleanatomica.com/blog/files/things_i_like.html#unique-entry-id-10gravelbike.com has posted an awesome review of the Titanico.

When I evaluate a component, my ultimate measure of success is whether or not I’d purchase a second one. Selle An-Atomica’s Titanico saddle is one of those rare products where I didn’t have to think twice about purchasing a second one.

Selle An-Atomica]]>Love My Saddleuser@domain.comComfortGeneral2011-08-23T19:55:05-07:00http://www.selleanatomica.com/blog/files/love_my_saddle.html#unique-entry-id-5http://www.selleanatomica.com/blog/files/love_my_saddle.html#unique-entry-id-5I saw this saddle two years ago on Ragbrai and ordered one when I got home. I now have 4500 miles on the saddle. I had zero break in time, and have had no problems with it or my butt. The color has faded very little in two years. Since I bought it I ride longer and more than before, I have turned several friends on to the product, all are very happy. This year I had the pleasure to meet Meredith from Selle An-Atomica on Ragbrai, it was nice to thank her and others for making my riding life much more fun.]]>RAGBRAI Tandem Captainuser@domain.comBlog2011-08-07T21:28:16-07:00http://www.selleanatomica.com/blog/files/424f7ea3f7e1ee96d4eec8bee29642c0-4.html#unique-entry-id-4http://www.selleanatomica.com/blog/files/424f7ea3f7e1ee96d4eec8bee29642c0-4.html#unique-entry-id-4I was very skeptical about changing to a leather saddle on such a long ride (450 miles) but with temperatures in the high 90s and the humidity higher than that -- changes had to be made! We still had 350 miles to go and what a pleasant surprise it was, all "issues with my tissues" subsided after 24 hours and the rest of the ride went great! I hadn't used a leather saddle since the 70's (I'm a racer type) but as a captain of a tandem I don't have near the mobility of a single and "issues with tissues" crop up, the leather saddle from Wisconsin won the prize -- so much so I left Ragbrai with 2 saddles! Thanks Meredith and Crew! ]]>Plush Posterioruser@domain.comComfort2011-07-08T14:45:23-07:00http://www.selleanatomica.com/blog/files/plush_posterior.html#unique-entry-id-3http://www.selleanatomica.com/blog/files/plush_posterior.html#unique-entry-id-3Post your commentsuser@domain.comGeneral2011-05-28T21:00:45-07:00http://www.selleanatomica.com/blog/files/welcome_to_the_new_website.html#unique-entry-id-2http://www.selleanatomica.com/blog/files/welcome_to_the_new_website.html#unique-entry-id-2
