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

So, I have many saddles I purchased for all my bikes (9) and as we all know some just don't work out on the bottom from a comfort standpoint. I sit in my office and just look at them, put a few on e-bay and look at the quality, shape, differences, etc which are unique to all higher end saddles.
So i decide to put them all on a post of compriable quality and make a bit of a collage of them.
BTW, I found 4 I really like and are on my race type bikes, mainly Fizik's and Specialized.....Kurve Bull and Romin respectively.

Cool. personally i'd like to see them all pointed the same direction, it feels a little chaotic at the moment. Perhaps shorter posts as well to reduce distraction from the saddle's natural geometry and appeal

And something a bit more aesthetically pleasing than a foam block...

I agree on both above comments, perhaps wooden blocks and will put all in same direction. And to think I'm a designer ??
