Experience the comfort of a leather saddle: this is one really sweet bike seat. Made by Gyes in Taiwan, it's a full-on leather saddle with adjustment screw to adjust leather tension as you wear the saddle in. The GS-06H model has the hole cutout in the cyclist's unmentionable area to provide some added relief... and I suppose it saves a tiny bit on weight as well.

This saddle compares to the Brooks brand saddles. It's NOT a Brooks saddle, but it gives all the hallmarks of a comfortable saddle.

This one is narrow and long for a racing type riding position with the handlebars lower or even with the saddle. It has no springs as do some touring saddles, so it's lighter than a sprung saddle. This one is made for more of a racing posture.

Leather care:

* You need to keep it out of the rain as much as possible
* The bottom of the saddle has a protective fabric screen to protect the leather from water sprayed by your tires
* You'll need to make sure you oil your saddle regularly, otherwise it'll dry out, crack and become worthless. Sheldon Brown's website has an excellent article on leather saddles and saddle care (Google "Sheldon Brown leather saddle"). We use Rawlings leather baseball glove oil and conditioner, but any suitable treatment used on baseball gloves, leather bike saddles, horse saddles and the like should do just fine.
