Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

What saddle do you ride?
Just wondering who rides what saddles. I only have the poll for brands due to the massive selection of saddles, but post what you ride! I ride Ritchey Streem and Fizik Antares.

Better add Specialized to that poll, they seem to be quite popular around here. On a Romin Evo Pro myself.

I should've put Specialized and Bontrager on there. If a "board manager" or such can change the poll, replace Ergon and WTB with those please!

Which brands don't you recognize? they are all pretty big brands. but he definitely needs and Spec option up there.
