Mercy Seat: Selle San Marco Zoncolan

The Selle San Marco Zoncolan is not made of gold, nor is it accompanied by the angelic presence of cherubim. It is however deceivingly comfortable and freaking light as a feather. My hope is that with this seat when I am attacking a particularly steep climb on the Soma Smoothie I will feel the heavenly wings of those cherubim carry me upward to the summit. The Zoncolon is long, lean and versitle, designed to accomodate the agility needed for moving around and out of the saddle when climbing. The nose has a little extra padding as well. At first I found the design of the nose a bit odd looking, but soon came to really love it's flair. Quality materials went into this seat with a leather cover and titanium rails. Bike Radar gave it a glowing review, but user reviews I have found have been mixed. Only time in this saddle will tell if it is well suited for me.
