ABSTRACT:
A bicycle saddle comprising a molded nylon saddle shell which includes a pair of metal support rails mated to mounts formed along the underside of the shell, dense foam padding material selectively arranged on a top surface of the shell, and cover material stretched over the padding material and secured to the underside of the shell. The saddle is further defined as having a narrow front portion which extends rearwardly to a broader mid-portion until about the last 1/2 to 1/3 portion of the rear saddle area where the sides of the saddle are trimmed down to eliminate the normally widely flared rear side portions associated with conventional racing saddles. The top surface contour of the saddle is substantially flat. The reduced surface area of the saddle afforded by the specially trimmed down side portions and flat back provide a greatly increased freedom of movement in getting on and off the saddle.
