I’m not sure that’s the exact same saddle I tried but it looks just like it. It’s a well made saddle and THE makes good stuff. I didn’t like it, though. I think the extra long nose is kinda old school and gets in the way unless you wear lycra shorts. I’ll scooch up on the nose of the saddle for steep climbs just like everyone else, I just think that this saddle takes it a bit far. I liked the rear portion of it….easy to slide backwards and off the back. I have one of those butts that finds most saddles pretty comfy so I mostly focus on designs that suit aggressive riding requirements. For regular duty cross country saddles, I kinda like some of the old Fizik models (Nisene and Poggio). The WTB saddles are also nice and the downturned nose helps prevent snagging. Syncros makes a couple nice ones, too, if you can find those and get a good price on them.
Blue Sky is a great online retailer and super nice guys there, so if you don’t like the THE model they should be cool about the refund or exchange. Can’t go wrong with them.
