Retrospec Bicycles 6 Button Track/Velo Saddle

purchased it for the price but was pleasantly surprised by the quality and comfort

I bought this for cosmetic reasons but it turned out to be one of the most comfortable road saddles I've ever had.

The media could not be loaded.  This seat looks good on my vintage bike its definitely worth the money as well just a FYI it does not come with the mounting brackets you have to provide them any bracket would work

I've been a dedicate bike commuter for 8+ years, and I always laugh when my mom asks me if I have a "nice, soft seat" - anyone who rides often knows that what matters for long term comfort is not the squish of a seat topper, but the overall shape of the saddle itself. Given that, i dont know why I fell for the top reviews for this seat that said it's comfortable because it's got some padding. The problem with this seat, I discovered as soon as I rode on it, is that while most contemporary models have a sort of groove or negative space in the center of the seat, so that when you actually sit on it, your weight is resting on your sitz bones under each buttock. Not so with this seat - which just arches up to a high point in the middle... meaning that my weight is all concentrated there... mashing into my ahem, female anatomy. I can't say what it's like for guys, but from what I e what's, the grooved seats are more comfortable for folks with balls (makes sense, right)? So anyway, hopefully it's not to late to return this seat, which i was planning to use on the bike i use for a 6 mile round trip daily commute. i'm going to get the white project fixie seat instead - i've had it in a different color in the past, it's similarly priced, and wayyyy more comfortable. The style-boost of the silver studs on this one is just not worth it for me when i know there are better-designed seats out there. this one looks fine if you're just looking for a cheap white seat to instagram on your bike, but if you actually ride it, nah, try the other option.

Does not pinch your bottom, takes a toss down the mountain as good as any other seat, looks classy, and is ridiculously inexpensive; but NOT cheap.

I have a frame that is also by Retrospec, featuring this shade of green. When purchasing the bike it came with a plain boring black saddle.I'm a fan of the Brooks-style sliver rivets and the seat is comfy beyond belief! I regularly ride 5 miles on it in just blue jeans, as opposed to padded cycling thights or shorts.It seems well made structurally. The only reason I deducted a star is because the covering is easy to tear if the seat gets up against anything.

Like my review title states, this thing is worth it. I ride 10-20 miles consistently each day. Before riding this I had a vintage Selle San Marco Concor, which are highly praised amongst the serious riding community. That said, this thing feels as good as if not better. The padding is just right, whether it's for long rides or short. Needless to say, my butt never gets sore even with just a regular pair of pants or shorts on. Highly recommend if you're on a budget and don't care for the upkeep and worried mind (theft potential) that a more expensive leather saddle brings.

Okay saddle, I bought it for a color theme for a bike. Comfort is bot a strong suit here. Stitches and riveting is lacking quality too. Its a cheap saddle that is priced accordingly.

Looks good superficially, but the mounting rails are bent out of shape, resulting in it being impossible to mount this saddle symmetrically and maintain proper riding position. It's off-center. It has what appears to be a red quality control inspection sticker on it, which makes me wonder, if they inspect for quality, how could they miss this? I'm disappointed.

LA tela con la que lo cubren es bastante delgada, tanto que la fricción de sentarse y andar la empiezan desgastar en muy poco tiempo, tuve que devolver el producto... hay que resaltar el eficaz servicio atención al cliente que amazon maneja.

Looks unreal (slim profile), pretty comfortable, but durability is a bit of an issue. Got the yellow/lime green one. The colour rubbed off at the back (I guess from my bag rubbing it) and now has white spot. The vinyl/leather material is also stapled to the bottom of the seat and a staple was starting to fall of - material is pulling off a bit. Either way, still pretty solid seat, and for $14, I'd definitely buy one again.

The seat rails are quite big. I had to remove the seatpost ring that comes with the seat. I had to play around and after a couple times I finally made it work. It should be easier to fit on a regular seatpost.

Encantado con la construcción de este sillín, así como con los materiales de buena calidad. Lo recomiendo ampliamente incluso para rodadas largas.
