thanks for the reply - yes "bouncy" is not a good idea - it's a very subtle calculation between firm and soft to get a saddle just right. I sometimes wonder (dream?) if the better more dedicated bike saddle researchers (as opposed to the gimmicky "why not" folk) have a series of standard arses to conduct their experiments with. Must say I generally have the idea that selle royal have something like mine locked away in the lab.
Selle Royal's masterpiece was a "lookin" from the turn of the century. Ever since they have been messing with it.
will be off to Lidl tomorrow,
I also have a Selle Royal on my Raleigh Pioneer ebike, the bike came with this saddle when i bought it new. This SR doesn't look anything special, cant even find a model name on it, but its supremely comfortable.
