Thanks Verrt!
It's coming along and is one of her favorites. New high pressure Kenda tires and tubes. Takes 90 psi. tho and needs topping off every few days.

Took your advice and put the same Aikate saddle on my wife's Raleigh.

Blue stitching looks nice and she likes the fit.

Pretty nice seats indeed for the money.

Awesome, I really like mine as well. Yes, you cant be the price for that quality.

We did 8 mi today on the pair. They are awesome!

Did the same thing with the Brooks cheapie look-alike. Sits good but I need to put some miles in for the final decision. Be Well, SS.

I got this one at Lidl and it proved pretty comfy. Sadly it left with a bike I sold. Waiting for them to get more, but it may be a while...

After seeing the quality of a $20 aftermarket Chinese seat, I wonder how little Pacific pays for stock seats?

20 mi yesterday on my Fuji Odessa. This $20 seat did great.

Saddle came with this spiffy reflective strap to keep my pant leg out of the chain ring.

Only one leg band? What does that do to your balance.

I grab up every one of these seats I can find

I found a chinese version of that style on amazon for like twenty bucks, and it's terrible. The springs that stretch under the seat are so soft they sag down to the seat post. Also with all the spring joints and whatnot it creeks like crazy with every movement I make while sitting on it. So far this is the only seat that has ever given me saddle sores.

funny, I see the knockoffs on Fleabay and such and sometimes I think about trying one... well, now I know it's not worth it.

To be fair, the originals creak too. I just bought a new unused NOS Schwinn mattress saddle that the guy at the LBS dug out of the back room, and even it creaks. But it's comfortable for all that.
