Noseless saddles
I have only once seen one of these on a bike and I am intrigued as to whether anyone here has ever had a go on one?
I know they don't look very cool but aesthetics aside...

And there is also the answer to the age-old question: "What's worn beneath the kilt?"
If it's not "Nothing; it's all in perfect working order", it must be "knicks".

Reminds me of a bad joke:
Two elderly English women decide to visit Scotland on a holiday. Walking down the street they see a kilted Scotsman on the other side of the road. Curiosity gets the better of one of the English women and she crosses the road to ask what he has under her kilt. Her friend watches from the other side of the road as she sees her ask, and the Scot's response of lifting the front of his kilt to his forehead.
The English woman flees back across the road in tears, and her friend asks what the matter was, to which she answers "It was gruesome, gruesome, utterly gruesome".
From the other side of the road the Scotsman chimes in with "If you have another look you'll see
Nup, can't do it. Sorry.

Why not use a good old Brooks saddle? I tried so many different saddles until I came across my brothers old bike and gave the Brooks a try. At first it felt awkward because it was adjusted to my brother's bum but he said I should give it a few hours and it will adjust to my bum. It did. Like a shoe. If the size fits you might need a few hours to get comfy but the more you wear it (or use it) the more comfy it gets. Haven't looked back.
Cheers,
Edward

Yeah personally I am still pretty interested in the Selle An-Atomica mentioned in the above discussion and another recently.
It's all interesting stuff - I find the research and designs fascinating and exciting.

I need to get a better saddle for my wife for use on our tandem. But we really don't want to buy without being fairly sure we're the right one.. There are so many variables to get the correct fit and so many different saddle designs.
Can anyone point me to bike shop that have 'try before you buy' for saddles?

My wife and teenage daughter both ride on Serfas ( Dual Density.. I think) women saddles. Saddle soreness is now not a issue but I would say for me they "look" too soft and gel like for anyone really keen on speed.( As a bloke even a short ride for me is hell on these things so I guess it must be the same for girls on a blokes saddle).
Picked up mine from Bike Barn at Parra as the owner gave a 90 day return if not happy option which is backed by Serfas .
Why did I buy this brand?
The owner/ sales fella has a daughter the same age and knew just what I was on about when I quizzed how to avoid the "I don't want to ride as my bum will hurt".

Sigh. Here's poor old me thinking it read "Noiseless Saddles" - it's the springs on my Brooks you know, can't decide if that is the kind of squeak a Brooks owner should aspire to or whether it should be taken to with a dose of ....well what? - Proofide? Chain-L? Personal L?
