Great touring seat, great ride! Look no further!

I stopped riding my CIOCC road bike many years ago. I averaged 26 miles a day for years and made ends meet at 41 mph with no fishtails behind the frame. Very fun but the seat took a toll on my body. I stopped riding. I bought an ISM touring saddle and a cruiser with 3G. The seat of the ISM touring saddle supports you in many ways and takes some getting used to. The seat has no nose so you lose the control you would normally have for tight corners at high speed. If you're buying this ISM touring

It took me years to realize that it wasn't just the quality of the saddle, the weight, the padding. and ergonomics.

Pros
  • Seats and Saddles
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging

I have the ISM Touring and ISM Sport models. The Sport is fairly stiff (many would say it's just stiff, even compared to many regular saddles) and fairly narrow considering it needs to support your sit bones. The Touring, on the other hand, is better padded (though quite firm) and wider. I'm pretty sporty and have done over 10,000 miles in the last ten years and even I prefer the Touring. I keep my sport on a bike I don't ride as much. Which brings me to the problem: When I ordered this itemโ€ฆ
