3.0 out of 5 stars Decent seat, but avoid the white one., April 14, 2010

This seat is sturdy, comfortable, and is narrow enough to allow great clearance. I would definitely purchase an Origin 8 seat again, but in a different color. After the first day of use, the denim from my pants had stained the majority of the seat light-blue. I purchased the white seat to match the appearance of my bicycle, but by the second day, ended up with a blue seat. It is still a great seat, just watch what color you buy!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice, but not very "white", July 28, 2011

Package includes 1 saddle in a plastic bag.


The saddle is, as mentioned by others, not truly white. It is off-white.
Also, not shown in the picture but mentioned by others, there is a logo on the tip of the horn/nose. I bought this saddle and some Avenir white cork handlebar tape to dress up an older Trek road bike. The fact that the saddle is not quite as pictured initially disappointed me, but turned out to be OK. It still looks quite good with the white handlebar tape. And the logo is about the size of a nickel, and the colors are fairly subdued, so it is not obnoxious. Stamped on the plastic underside is "Velo".

With all of that being said, this is actually a very good-looking saddle. Better looking than I expected. The material is thick, the stitching is nice, and the rails are painted black. Without the logo, you would easily think that this is a much more expensive saddle.

As for fit: Not much to say, really. Everybody's backside is different. You have to try different saddles to find what fits. This doesn't have a ton of padding, and I find that I like that on longer rides.

I don't know about longevity, yet. For the price, though, it doesn't really matter. This is cheaper than the cheapest saddle at any local store, even the 'Mart. For under twenty, delivered, you would be hard-pressed to beat this deal.

I will not only consider this saddle again in the future, but am already planning on buying one in a different color for one of my other bikes.


Edit 8/30/11: They have changed the picture to now show the logo on the tip of the saddle.

This seat is really what getting the most for your money is all about! It's a great deal without sacrificing quality. MUCH more comfortable than the stock seat I started with! Comparable to more expensive saddles on the market that I was checking out!
