"If you're having problems with NUMBNESS in the area where you'd rather NOT be numb, this is the best solution I've found. I opted for the "ROAD" saddle, and not the "RACE" saddle because I just seem to need a bit more padding, but the differences were very small in weight (my water bottle weighs more!). Their web site is extremely helpful. Looks wierd, feels good."timebaron

Ease of installation

Installed as easy as any seat. It looks strange with the nose missing, but there is plenty of info on their web site to help.

(4)

Fit

Feels much better than old saddle. Less numbness, although it hasn't gone away 100%.

(3)

Comfort

It's a bike seat, not a marshmellow, so it's as comfortable as a bike seat can be.

(5)

Adjustability

It's as adjustable as any bike seat. Up, down, left, right.

(5)

Value

I found this seat for $40 less than MSRP after some good surfing. Usually $120, get it here for $80. http://bikeisland.com/cgi-bin/BKTK_STOR20.cgi?Action=Details&ProdID...

Appearance

Looks cool!

(4)

Performance

As long as the numbness and soreness are toned down, I'm happy!

Strengths

Blackwell did a good job here. The saddle took away a great deal of the numbness I was experiencing with previous saddles. The price was outstanding as well at the mentioned web site (bikeisland.com)

Weakness

Not really a weakness, but it takes a bit of getting used to, like anything else. Not a saddle to ride "sitting up" on. Made to be aero and go fast.
