The UDC gel seat does sound like a good idea, as they reckon it suits sif etc as well as long distance riders. Of course, they're the ones that are selling it so it may be a wee bit bias.

There's not a lot of choice, but for $80 you can't go wrong with the gel, it's comfy for long distance and low profile (doesn't get in your way!) for MUni and trials. The main drawback is that it's flexy (but so are all the other $80 saddles) but just get the reinforcement plate if you're going to do a lot of trials or MUni.

If you want the best then buy a carbon base and fusion cover to upgrade it with later on. You don't even need to upgrade the handle for long distance- the std plastic handle is hard to beat. But if you really wanted to you can add distance handles like the GB or MUni handles like The Deathgrip.

Yeah. Sadly tis true, but thanks for the advice anyway.

[giraffe]

make sure you don't get those try hard kh saddles from david allis....they are shocking!!

[arthuritus]

Haha thanks. Was considering those for a cheap way out. Will stay clear now though : )

[giraffe]

They are freakin' hard!! Flexy bases, non removable covers, old style so hard to grip for sif etc, Staying clear is good

[arthuritus]

Well then, it seems I may have to break the budget and splash out $80, unless anybody in NZ has any second hand ones going?

[skrobo]

has anyone ever broken one of the Velo handles?
mine looks sorta white where it would get the most stress (probably from attempting to break the longest jump record)
