City Cyclery
Strengths:
Most comfortable saddle I have ever had.
Put it on, rode miles and miles and had no soreness.
Weaknesses:
Snagged and tore 2 pair of baggy shorts in 1 week. Slid off the saddle for fast downhills and tore the shorts sliding back on. Both shorts were good, expensive biking shorts. One pair Trek, one Pearls so it was definitely caused by the 2 little points at the rear of the saddle. Too bad, really liked it, alas had to return it.

Bottom Line:
Comfy saddle, too expensive to keep replacing shorts. Probably OK if you don't wear baggies.

Bottom Line:
I have put quite a few miles in on this saddle. Have raced it three time and finished with zero soreness. Have done two spin around town rides in regular old shorts. Keep the rides with no chamois under 10 miles and you will have no issues. I buzzed around DC for about 15 miles and had a bit of soreness after 15 miles, but not the type that you're feeling the next day. It looks good, is very comfortable, and isn't to firm or to soft.
