He loves the thing. I admit to a curiosity about them and would try one on a demo ride. My only abnormality is a t'aint callous during the summer. Sh!t, sorry Tim.

On one hand I don't give a crap, on the other hand I have always had my eye on this one "horn-less" saddle. Specialized branded it in the 90s, some Small company has one out now. a male mtn biker has a hard object (saddle) smacking around soft tissue, of couse there are is going to be (bad) side effects/issues.

I've done a few hundred mountain bike races including 24 hour solos so according to the article I'm probably abnormal. I don't care if I'm abnormal. I want to know what bad effect it's going to have if any. So far everything seems to be working just fine and I had 2 kids after more than 10 years of mountain bike racing.
