Hello, To give some background, I'm a 41yr old 6'5" 231lb male rider. I have two other Selle saddles and find them very comfortable; but like some I had to send one back to have it reskinned due to stretching. I commute year round in Nebraska at least 3 times a week and ride several weekly rides. I ride on downtown busy streets for the commute and the other rides are on crushed limestone and MUP trails. When the weather is nicer I ride across the river in Iowa on the secondary highways in the Loess Hills. The bike I am testing this with is a Cannondale T2000 that I use for loaded touring. It has the fenders I'll need when it starts to snow and get sloppy out. This time of year it's the bike I spend the most time on and the one that the older Selle came off of.

I commuted to work and back this morning for 28 miles. I wore wool tights with no padding. The saddle was as I expected it to be. Just as comfortable as my older one. I was in and out of the saddle dealing with traffic so I didn't spend as much time sitting and spinning as I would have liked. I plan to go on a longer ride tomorrow evening to test that out. The saddle was tensioned near perfect when it was sent to me and it didn't need any tension adjustments at the end of the ride. I could tell the saddle leather, or laminate was thicker when I compared it to my older one. I'm really looking forward to getting more miles in. I wish I had more to say about it right now other than it feels the same but looks to be a bit thicker. I will write another comment after tomorrow nights longer ride.
