Ginge.. Ditto... Andrew.... NO !!

I could buy 4 brand new steel bike frames for the price of that seat. Plus it kinda looks like you might need to buy matching lycra and goggles too ;)

each to their own I guess :D

I can just picture how difficult it would be to pull that out of my azz after a 20 mile ride!

I have been thinking about the one in this picture.

Don't bother with the Schwinn "No Pressure seat" it is very uncomfortable and cheap looking as well. any seat of the "touring style" like this one is much better.

I have gel seat cover on my bike. The gel padding seems to have moved around a bit. Also, since scaging the material on a thorny bush I leaned my bike on the whole cover is now slowly coming apart. I will need a new one soon after just 6 months of use.
