Re: MTB Saddle?

Brooks Conquest - moulds to your bum like nothing else, will outlive any
other saddle and sprung too for long rides.

The Aston Martin of bicyle saddles! I've had one for 4 years and love it.

Hope this helps,

Jonathan

I have looked on Wiggle and Chain Reaction but there are so many
;-) I am looking for a comfort saddle at a *sensible* price to use
in recreational cycling, any recommendations?

Come over and see me - I've got a shelf full!

I'm delighted to hear that others are using Brooks saddles on mountain
bikes. My LBS were horrified that I wanted to put such a traditional
saddle
on my Scott USA mountain bike. I must confess I took great pleasure
in
their reaction. I've been contemplating adding a Carradice cotton
duck saddle bag too for long day rides - that would horrify their
fashion conscious staff even more I should think!

Hah!

Yes, it's my Cannondale. And yes, it has been much laughed at. But at
the end of a long ride in the hills, it's me who's doing the laughing.

The Conservative Party is now dead. The corpse may still be
twitching, but resurrection is not an option - unless Satan
chucks them out of Hell as too objectionable even for him.

I like Specialized.

Thanks to everyone for the replies 🙂
I have went for a Specialized BG2, it should do the job.

I do hope you gave it a good sit-on first. I found the BG saddles
pretty torturous... :-(
