from Calgary, Canada Date Reviewed: June 21, 2010 Strengths: Like any Selle Italia, it doesn't shape to your rear, it shapes your rear to it. Might hurt the first few weeks but after that it's great. The most beautiful saddle out there. Weaknesses: A little expensive. Don't know if the cut out really does anything.

from Denver, CO Date Reviewed: June 15, 2010 Strengths: Light, comfortable, fast Weaknesses: The shell broke! I had it on a road bike that was never crashed or even tipped over. I probably had 6k miles on it, but it still should not have broken, especially for a high dollar seat.

from Columbus, Ohio Date Reviewed: June 17, 2009 Strengths: pretty when new, good fit to my anatomy. Weaknesses: So I have my new Niner with a Stella Italia Gel Saddle. The white finish is wearing off after only 8 weeks of use; down to bare leather. Just called Pronet Cycling the USA distributor that handles their customer service about a warranty. I explained the situation. Guy said, "There is no warranty for saddles but you can send it in." I replied, "If there is no warranty, exactly what are you going to do with the saddle?" Guy says, "Send it back to you." I said, "Sounds like a waste of time and money if you aren't going to do anything." Guy says, "Yeah, pretty much. But we'll look at it, be sure to include your receipt." WTF! I will never buy another Stella Italia saddle, other buyers beware! I called my LBS and they are going to take care of me, which means a happy ending but if you see a Stella Italia saddle for sale, stay away.
