My local bike shop and race mechanic bought this new offering to my attention: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/real-man.html

Can guarantee you it's unique -- will last a lifetime. And the Ti rail gets the weight down nicely.

Are you a girly-man, riding a "unisex" bicycle saddle,
or are you ready for a Real MAN ® Saddle?

Most bikes sold today come with so-called "unisex" saddles. A sizable minority come with saddles specially designed for women, but where is the saddle for the Real MAN ®?

If you look at advertisements for conventional saddles you'll see adjectives like "soft" "cushy" "comfy" "padded"...no wonder this country is going down the tubes, if that's the priority of the sybaritic masses. Can total decadence and degradation be far behind? The Real MAN ® saddle offers a rugged, spartan alternative that can help restore the hardy pioneer spirit that made this great nation what it was in its prime.

Can a bicycle saddle change the world? Why not! You've gotta start somewhere, why not at the bottom?

The typical saddle sold today is made of squishy "gel" foam over a plastic base, designed to coddle the delicate derrières of women and decadent, emasculated males. They're often upholstered with slippery Lycra or similar slippery cloth. Yecch! Durable!By contrast, the Real MAN ® saddle is made from solid granite from Canada's rugged Gaspé peninsula, shaped and smoothed by eons of pounding by powerful Atlantic breakers. The Real MAN ® saddle is tough enough to stand up to whatever you can dish out!
Lightweight!Thanks to the space-age Titanium undercarriage, the Real MAN ® saddle weighs a mere 1643.893 grams! The Real MAN ® saddle KICKS BUTT! Order Yours Today!!!

Real MAN ® saddles are not available in any store,
