any selle smp users ?

after elongated trial period i took the plunge and ordered 2 lite 209 saddles one for commuter / daily bike and other for family tandem , been well impressed with service from Dillglove the uk distributors of Selle smp .

Only just heard about these saddles and they look as though they might be what I'm after. Typically the dillglove website is down at the moment and undergoing redevelopment.

One very good reason to like this brand on first impression - they're grown ups and - shocking, I know - actually acknowledge that the anatomy of women's genitalia is a bit more detailed than oh-so-unhelpful "soft tissue" euphemism you get on every other website. Labia and clitoris aren't dirty words, you numpty saddle manufacturers and cycle shop staff. And just because it's all soft down there doesn't mean everything's the same!

must admit over a month later still very happy and comfy with these saddles

They are damn ugly, like Adamo saddles. But if they are comfy, then I suppose it is worth it (I am thinking about buying an Adamo for my TT bike, but hoping I can find someone with one I can borrow for a few weeks before I buy)!

TBH though, I would always feel like I was teabagging Cyril Sneer if I used one of those SMP saddles!

I recently bought the Selle italia body match. After having the bike stock saddle and a Specialized one the Selle, as Ian says, is like sitting in a comfy armchair. The difference for me was instant. But a saddle is personal choice. What suits one, May not suit another.

First ride yesterday on mine but I had the nose to high so jury still out , felt a bit weird for first couple of mile then felt Ok after that , definitely enough padding for longer rides so will come down to fit and whether my thighs chaff or not .

I am used to a slightly wider saddle 150mm , these are 140mm but seems Ok , the bit I would change is they are wider along the nose than my 3 other saddles and I have quite big thighs so might cause a bit more friction when pedalling , apart from that you would not know you were sitting on a saddle with a hole in it
