I have a Ritchy Pro on my bike and I hate it.
I do, however, have a spare WTB Rocket V (ti) sitting around.
But, I already feel kinda' out of place with my visor and camelpak *(on occasion.)

What you runnin'?

Um, the saddle is almost entirely hidden under your butt. As you mentioned, you are already in violation of THE RULES. See RULE #32 and #35 (http://www.velominati.com/blog/the-rules/). So, if you like the Rocket, rock it. heh, heh that was bad...

Me, I have some variation of the Sella Italia Flite on my main bikes (road and mtb). And I have my eye on CL to get another to replace the WTB Rocket I have on my newest bike. I don't like the 'sharp edges' of the Rocket (a horrible saddle for any ride more than an hour IMO-YMMV).

I don't do well with the rules.
Besides, there is only one rule that matters.
Rule 55 (the sub name of my riding group.)

Tomorrow I'll get a ride in on the MTB then probably switch out the Ritchey for the WTB and see how it feels.

At the moment, me too. My butt likes SpecEds. I have an Avatar on my MTB, and I also had a couple Toupes.
