I came across a saddle with no centre horn whilst browsing on Ebay. It's
the damndest looking thing. I could see it working for a hybrid with a very
upright riding position but somehow I can't see Lance rushing off to order
one.

You can find these seats for a lot less than $45.00

It is true you don't see any of these seats on racing bikes.

It looks too much like a chair to use like a saddle.

Every once in awhile it seems somebody gets the bright idea
to 'invent' one of these things. I've never seen one in
actual use. In my comings-&-goings I just see normal saddles.

This particular one looks threateningly pinchy.

That's a different design but nevermind. It's just as weird.

I have a friend who saws the horns off all his saddles, and covers them
over with duct tape.

I guess for him it works.

Better than the Easy Seat! I tried one of those (few bucks at a yard
sale, I'm not nuts) a few years ago. No matter how I adjusted it the
best I could come up with was an orientation that drove the points
directly into the muscle/ligament/thingy where the butt meets the leg
whenever I exerted more than light pressure. Everything else was much
worse. I thought of sawing off the points but figured it was (ha!)
pointless.

Try riding one for a while and you will see they are not as comfortable
as you first imagine it to be.
