Similar Products Used:
Selle Italia, Avocet, Schwinn, and those awful Specialized sadddles from 2000, 2001.

Proflex 857 frame, Profile carbon handle bar, Avid brakes, Cane Creek Wham wheelset, RaceFace Turbine crankset, Ritchey pedals, and Shimano XT, LX gearing.
Bottom Line:
Hey, I am a guy and I love this saddle. I got the new Double Density of this model. So what it's a women saddle! It works for me! In the late 80's mountainbikes saddles were made with a wider back end. This saddle has a shorter nose which I can change positions very easily. The most important thing it's very comfortable. I tried the men's model and other brand's racing saddle, they were just too narrow. How can anyone ride if the saddle is hurting you.
So, girlfriend, if your boyfriend is short, medium built, handsome, and need a new saddle. Tell him to try this saddle.

Bottom Line:
The bottom line is that this saddle and my bottom line match up spot-on!! I went to my bike shop and put them through the ringer trying to find a saddle that fit AND was comfortable AND was lite. Not even the Terry Butterfly fit like this saddle...I think it's something about the location of the cut-outs. So I bought another one for my commuter bike; I refuse to ride on anything else! Even my boyfriend loves to ride it! Ladies, do yourself a favor and give this saddle a try.
