Since I first bought a Selle Anatomica from RBW, it's been my seat of choice. I
have them on 3 of the 4 bikes that call our garage "home." One of the saddles
came used from another cyclist, and was already fully stretched out. My past
experience with Selles is that once they get to that point, they stay there. GP
said the same thing in the advertising blurb back when Riv was selling them. I
was surprised then on today's ride (to Fat Girl's BBQ Cafe, no less) when the
seat stretcher bolt fell OUT and onto teh ground as I was riding. The saddle
was
soaked with sweat and hammocked so that it was laying on top of the seatpost.
No, there was no pain, just consternation. The leather LOOKS okay, and instead
of sending $75 to re skin the frame back at the factory, I decided to go to
Home
Depot instead. I came back with a 3 1/2" bolt to replace the 2" long fallen out
one. The Selle bolt has a custom head which gets a narrow hex socket inside a
hole in the steel saddle nose piece. I knew I wouldn't find that, but came back
with a carriage bolt instead. I turned it up snug against the rounded inside
portion of the nose piece and we'll see how it rides. If it's a bust, I'm out a
whopping $0.33 (inc tax)
None of my other Selles have done this, btw.
