Saddle with no centre horn

DRS said:

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.

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.

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

they been around in europe for quite a few years but funnily enough never took off, according to the 'Cycleopeadia' catalogue
(wonderful yearly issue of everything new/wierd)

seen a lumpier version that looks more like a Wassily(?) chair too

and just what do you refer to when you say 'horn' on a saddle?
sounds nastee...

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.

horn? my first thought was an integrated air horn - a VERY
bad idea its bad enough mounted on the bars in front of me

AndreS au ===> any resemblance may be purely coincidental.

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