I bought this off ebay, it arrived today. I fitted it on the bike. I'll show you pics of it fitted but when I took it for a ride, it just didn't feel right. It felt a bit hard I guess. I've decided that its not for me, either it was moulded to a different arse or my arse is too sensitive. Anyways I bought it for £34. I would just like to make my money back. Thanks for looking.

Give it a little time to break into your shape...

I swear by these saddles.

+1 Give it time. I've just got a brand new one and it feels comfy so far. Have you got proofide? Get some, smother it particularly inside. Has the tension bolt been wound up completely? If not a 90 degree turn may help

Thanks for the support, I am gonna give brooks another go with a different saddle I purchased so hopefully someone will buy this one. Otherwise I will have two!

It can take a while for a leather saddle to fit your arse properly. Even from new they won't feel yours for many a mile. But when they do you'll wonder why you were so worried that you'd wasted your money. If you have 2 bikes fit them on both and ride them till they fit. If after a couple of months they are still not right then sell one or both. I'd love one for MTB but can't afford it at the mo. GF would kill me spending more money though I've shown her what the price is new so I might try to go for another in a couple of months time (I don't ride MTB enough to justify it yet) :rolleyes: .
