    Favorite Trail:+***LYNN WOODS***+ and B&T's
    Duration Product Used:Less than 1 month
    Purchased At:Came on Bike - Western Cycle
    Strengths:Everything I said above...looks cool and is comfy
    Weaknesses:I BROKE IT.

    Yes, today I had a crash and people wanted me to go to the ER...just to give you an idea of what kinda crash...anyway, the seat seperated from the rails.
    Similar Products Used:Other comfy Bontragers...Selle San Marco ERA...WTB
    Bike Setup:GF KingFisher 1 frame w/2 components
    Bottom Line:I love it and wana get it again...it was a bad crash so I really can't blame Bontrager.

    But, given that it is meant to withstand insane stuff as it's an Earl, I can only give it 4 chillies.
