Does nobody else ride with a saddle then? Are Chad and myself the only ones who sit on something more comfortable than a bare seatpost?

Come on Guys and Girls.....what are you perching your a***s on?

Mac -

Me telling you what I ride is like responding to the same question with my favorite color.  It has no bearing on what is going to be comfortable for YOUR rear or anyone else's.  Saddles and probably the most personal item on the bike.  Different sitbone width, sensitivity at the contact points with the saddle, preference on shape, ride position, ride style, weight, body composition, etc. etc. all impact what saddle YOU like and what saddle I like. 

 

If you are doing some sort of research, more power to ya.  If you are looking for a different perch than your current saddle, get some demo saddles and ride them all.
