2nd hand saddles are like 2nd hand bib shorts and 2nd hand condoms...

Not necessarily. If it's been used for a week or a month, it's still good in my eyes. If a condom or bib has been used for a month, different story...

I always used them old school suede saddles and thought they were very comfy way back. On my reintroduction to cycling a few years ago, I did not like the solid saddles and changed to a gel saddle with the glory hole for men. It was a firmish yet soft saddle and I thought it was great for a while. 

I now have an SDG on the one bike, a solid saddle and I love it.

On the other I have a BrandX saddle with the glory hole and it is even more comfy than the the SDG.

You shouldn't be sitting on a DH bikes' saddle anyways...

got a nice bruise like its shape on my stomach

 

So i have a nice new syncross xc seat

Take it then that you do not use public toilets?

 

Not aversed to public toilets at all and any tree is a lavatory.

But bib shorts and saddles are a personal relationship IMO.

I know at a point, Specialized sold a whole bunch of their test saddles as they were not able to get the usual retail models in stock on time, so they released the test saddles for sale...

 

I bought one a number of years ago and still have it....nothing "illegal" if I were to sell it as I paid for it...

 

If you borrow a test saddle to test and never return it then different story, perhaps not 100% illegal (stand to be corrected), but not exactly morally correct...

Still looking for A 143( or whatever the smallest size is)  power saddle if anyone has one  :whistling:

 

Specialized Melrose Arch had plenty about 3 weeks ago .

I bought the red one .... best money I have spent on ANYTHING ....

Bib shorts I agree with, saddle - no issue!

If they can make shoes that mold around your feet for a custom fit and that are commercially viable, why can't they do the same with seats??? Custom fit seats!
