    Comments about Selle Italia Flite Gel Flow Saddle - Men's:

    This saddle is expensive, but it is the best I have ever used. Both of my commuting/long-distance bikes are equipped with this saddle -- one is finished in white leather, and the other in black. Between the two saddles I probably have 5000 miles logged. I am of average build and I weigh 160 lbs. I mention this in case it might be helpful to know. Simply stated, and from my experience, this saddle becomes a "transparent" point of connection to the bicycle: if I am even aware of its presence, it is only in the most pleasant way. In my opinion, a price can scarcely be placed on a piece of cycling equipment which works in such harmony with both the body and bike.

      Comments about Selle Italia Flite Gel Flow Saddle - Men's:

      I put this saddle on my road bike soon after I bought it and did not truly appreciate the comfort until having something to compare it to. I never thought twice about the lack of discomfort on long rides, but after riding on other saddles on other bikes, I can finally appreciate all that the Flite Gel Flow is. Twenty miles or seventy miles, I've never experienced discomfort with this saddle. Definitely worth the investment.
