It's probably the ugliest saddle on the market, but after a bike fit and some very reliable suggestions, I decided to give the Cobb Plus a go. The other thing that was keeping me away from the saddle from the company founded by "Mr Wind Tunnel" (as John Cobb is known within the industry) was the £140 pricetag.
