Most comfortable retro saddle?

[markoc]

After years of Flites, I tried a Charge Spoon a good ten or so years ago - and now have them on all my bikes. Not retro - but not shouty modern either. I'm too old to perch on something uncomfortable just to maintain period correctness.

Turbo or Ritchey Ti Logic Pro are my go to. Don't mind a Rolls either

Flite is the most comfortable retro saddle for me, but... nothing is as comfortable as getting a saddle fitted to you. For me, it solved a lot of back and hip problems I was having. I'm so comfortable now.

+1 for Wtb rocket-v were also pretty comfy. Also ride Flites and Brooks B72 and a few others. I find the more you ride the less sensitive your ass gets. That being said not done much riding this year… yet

im quite liking the sdg bell air im trying at the moment the rocket v also is a good one as mentioned

None. Buy modern. You won't regret it.

Tosh! I’ve just bought a brand new bike and the saddle is frickin’ horrendous!

I would never recommend a saddle to anyone, far too personal a decision.


As for me, Flite everytime.

This. No two a**es are the same. Rolls (non-repro) for mine.

Shout out here for the Avocet O2 ti - many widths, very comfy.
Also WTB offerings in Ti and wider sizes.
I have a narrow body (5-7 and 140lbs/66kg) but boy do I like wider saddles for my Ischeal Tuberosities.

Ive got a few Turbo's on my Paces and am trying a Brooks on my go to F7 to see if they really do personalise themselves by moulding to the riders bum over time. I have an early Carbonfibre Flight Evolution on my RC300 which is a lot comfier than I imagined it would be

Rolls for me. Or regal. Have tried modern stuff, but just end up going back to what works, even on my most modern bike (2006).
