495 grams for the Titanico X I received today. In the same ballpark as a Brooks B-17

[...] what does a thing like this weigh?

Mine will be delivered today

That saddle looks like it might bite back...

I can finally use my 312 saddle cover that I got from Bike To Work Week meet :)

BTW, did anyone also get the saddle sauce?

You're gonna go for a ride in the rain, and you're gonna get wet! I predict!

I predict  a comfortable ride home. No saddle sauce, going to use my Brooks Proofide.

You can use Pecard's leather dressing or Red Wing, etc. Brooks Proofide will work.

First ride with the Sella-X this morning:

  • My knees liked the extra long rails and setback compared to my old Brooks.
  • My bottom liked the lack of jacked-up nose and ridge down the center compared to my old Brooks.
  • I like it. 

Now that I removed my Brooks, I'm going to lace, soak, and reshape it to see if I can bring it back to life.

My bikes currently have b17s. I had a selle for a while but I don't know if it's the design or if the rails are not as strong as on the brooks but the thing buckled in a fairly short amount of time. 


Yeah I'm a big fella but the b17s haven't had this problem in all of the years.

I have been curious about these saddles, but haven't wanted to pay $150+ to try one.  For this price, I think it's time to give it a shot...

I've always used brooks B-17's, or back in the day, the equivalent thing from Ideale.  Can anyone here tell me how the Selle Anatomica compares to these?

Did anyone order their leather bar tape? At $39, it is just over half the price of VO and Brooks leather bar tape.

Would be interested to hear experiences.

I haven't used the saddle yet, since it is going on my new build. I did however buy the bar tape and installed it yesterday

I used waxed thread and followed these instructions to tie it off:

I did get it with the bar tape. It's cheaper per oz than Proofide, but is a fluid whereas Proofide is a cream. Haven't used it yet.
