Comments about Lookin ATH Bike Saddle - Men's:
I tried this saddle, along with the equally good MOD version after a long lay off from cycling. I used to ride long and hard, and would scoff at a seat such as this in the past. Riding was no longer fun, more like an obsession. I changed however. No more racing.... lycra shorts.... clipless pedals.....hard,narrow seats and the general race to know-where. I now ride in whatever and wear my favorite sneakers.... any kind will do..... and BMX style pedals.
My racing brain told me it's just too soft..... but I ignored that and tried it anyways. It wasn't too soft at all... call it a firm soft. The width.... oh yes ..... I tried both this and the MOD version and they are both very supportive. Despite the different width's, I like them both equally.
I now ride in a more modest 45 degree angle with some Nitto Albatross bars instead of drops, and these seats are perfect for that. I can now see what I've been missing all those years, and enjoying the view. These seats certainly help as they are supportive yet soft and they do not require cycling sorts of any kind..... the way I rode as a teenager many years ago..... when I cared less about how long I rode and more about just riding because it was fun to explore on a bike.
Seats are highly subjective, so don't take this or any review too seriously. Try it for yourself.
-Cheers
