[buldogge]

Hey Guys... Does anyone know the major (if any) difference(s) between a Specialized Chicane S-Works or Chicane Pro saddles???

TIA

...S-works has the full carbon shell; Pro has the carbon reinforced (nylon/carbon) shell

Much appreciated...

Mark, what are you doing ride that newfangled stuff?

Your bikes need either Rolls or Regals.

(Brooks if you want more leather.)

Here's the recommended saddle for Mark.

I have a Regal Girardi (in red!) on my KNWU Batavus Pro…a Concor on my De Rosa…and a Avocet 40R on my Reus…everything else has "modern" saddles.

My butt is not terribly picky though…I have:

Aliante
Aliante XM
Chicane
Phenom
Concor Racing/Open
Romin Evo (until a couple days ago)

Ready to ride???

I have some model of Brooks, in honey…big rivets…with springs…very nice saddle...used to reside on my "park bike" for dragging the kid around…now he has his own roadbike, and the saddle hangs in the basement.

I do have a Swift Ti on my Spectrum Sport Tourer though! (and a couple spares that are set-up for my gravel bike and Legend Ti, as well.)

Wow - based on the amount of spring steel on that thing, it must weigh 10 pounds!
