Don't seem to be positive other than its cheap.

I bought one a couple of years ago when my old saddle fell apart.

Not the best saddle I've ridden, but not so bad that I've wanted to
replace it.

I think to get the best benefit you need to have a rather more padded
backside than I've got. Sitting in what I /think/ is supposed to be the
optimum position, there isn't enough between my pelvic bones and the
raised part of the saddle for real comfort.

But that said, I still seem to get less perineal numbness than I used
to, so it's doing something right.

I have one on my pub bike. Someone on here about six months ago was raving
about them so I had a look on the website and other than the colour I liked
the look of them so I sent an email to Rido telling them that if they ever
did an all black one I would buy it.

They replied the next day telling me that they had an all black one but
the picture wasn't on the site yet, so I bought it. I see from their site it
still isn't on there but they do have one and for an all weather plastic
saddle it's well worth it's money. Flat, light and fairly hard but for a
couple of softer "sweet spots" for your sit bones

One small complaint, it has a "grippy" surface texture that I'm not
altogether happy with as it's nearly had my shorts off once or twice :-)
Other than that, for £15 you can't go far wrong.

I'll take a picture of my all black one if you want.
