Spec me a seat that doesnt cut me in half

The seat on Voodo Bizango is causing me agony on my 12 mile commute

Can anyone suggest an alternative

Terrain is a stony bumpy cycle track.

That spoon looks tiny like the one on my bike now....

Go easy on me...Can anyone spec me a mask too?

Its file hell down that track and I swallowed a fly this morning causing me to dry bork

I would take people's advice rather than buy one of those gel seats - which are well known to be utterly cack. We aren't just recommending these seats to try and make you hurt more

I know but they look so small and I have a huge arse !

Free saddle. Ordered one online to pick up from store...went the store and they didn't have it.

So the manager said if I popped in today he would give it me free

I still never understand why people ask for advice if they've already made the decision to ignore all that advice.

I've lost nothing if its not suitable...I was advised this was a decent saddle for my needs from someone else.

Please don't be offended....

I'm not offended - just amused. Hopefully the saddle will be fine for you.

I'll be trying it out tomo on the trail 12 miles to work

Egon said:
I get everyone's point... but if he got it for nothing he's not lost anything either.

How may I ask did you wangle that one? Slightly more risky question in this thread, could you have got the spoon for nothing?

I ordered online.. got a text saying it was in store...when I got there it wasn't.

So I said...this isn't really on...I had taken the afternoon off work to pick a sadlle up from a Bike shop and they didn't have it even though the emails and texts said they did.

The manager looked embarrassed. And said he would ring me personally on Monday when the saddle comes in and I can have it for free to apologies for the inconvenience.

Tbh it seems ok I'm fitting it in a bit and will take it for a spin

If it's crap I've lost nothing
