The saddle was firm enough but not super stiff in the crotch area, and the steel frame absorbed a lot of the impact to the groin region. The stamped, Selecta crankset spun smoothly up hills and I found myself spinning where I would normally be mashing. What a climber this bike is! Seriously, I did not have to get off the saddle at all, not even on the steepest climbs of my routes the last time I rode it. The stem shifters shift effortlessly and I have just the right amount of climbing and sprinting gear ratios. The foam grips and the alloy wheels give it a comfortable and plush ride, and the steel frame does it's job of absorbing the road vibrations. This is the smoothest, most compliant bike of all my ten speed bike-boom era bicycles.
