>>2007266the shape of your ass alters the seat, i.e. they "break-in", although modern materials are much more ready to ride versus an all-leather Brooks.
the part you aren't anticipating is you need to buy a saddle that fits your ass measurement combined with how aggressive you lean forward on the bike. correct saddle for upright cruiser is wide and aero triathlon bike is narrow for the same rider
2. Selle is probably the most expensive but worth it. I know some anons here like WTB and Charge/Fabric, and Brooks some like a lot but not everyone. but I don't have a photographic memory for all the good saddles.
