"The results were very encouraging for the season: 21 Hrs and 5 minutes for the 540 km ride without having to rest on my pedals despite violent winds, thunderstorms, and the cold, all because I had a SelleProust ['The UN~Saddle®']. Bravo, again for your invention!"

Laurent Brochard (France) - Pro Road Cyclist - Winner of 1997 World Championship Road Cycling:

"After having ridden several hundreds of kilometers on your seat SelleProust ['The UN~Saddle®'], I would like to tell you that I am so completely satisfied with the results and the impact it has had on alleviating both my lumbar and herniated disk problems that I would like to be able to use it in the biggest races..."

Sally Edwards (USA) - World-class Athlete and coach, who lives the fitness and sports lifestyle that she preaches.

After riding the 1999 Australian Iron Man (Hawaii Iron Man Qualifier) on The UN~Saddle®, Sally wrote: "Here is the good news: my female genitalia is not rubbed raw and I don't have any pimples on my butt. One could, if they had a partner (and I don't in Australia), actually make love after riding the Iron Man on this seat ['The UN~Saddle®']. Everyone is curious to know more about it and they are asking me lots of questions. I think that you have a great opportunity here."

August 26, 1998 - While training for the next Iron Man, Sally wrote:

"I love The UN~Saddle®. I have a new road bike and it's a beam-bike with a special device to attach 'The UN~Saddle®' that I'll race in Hawaii."

Eric Hauguel (France) - Pro Road Cyclist - Winner of the 1996 Trophy D. LaborneeIn Vermeuil:

"My problems were: leaning too forward, blisters and irritation between my cheeks, my knees were often 'out', and back pains after long rides. After having ridden over 20,000 km with the SelleProust ['The UN~Saddle®'].... I will never go back to the traditional saddle. Thank you [D. Proust] for having helped me discover cycling without suffering."

"I used the SelleProust ['The UN~Saddle®'] during training and, starting May 1996, in competition for 'sprint' triathlons and Olympic distance (D. O.) triathlon. I must tell you of my satisfaction with the complete comfort that this saddle provides. Also note that my overall performance has improved, and my transition from riding to running is now much easier."

Jaqueline Hamel (France) - Mountain Bike Racer:

"I met Daniel Proust and tried one of his first hand made ergonomic bike seats, and I have been riding with it since then. I will never go back to ride a traditional bike saddle. The SelleProust ['The UN~Saddle®'] respects the anatomy of the human body."

Eric Huber (Switzerland) - Recreational Rider:

"...difficulties urinating, 'pins and needles' sensation in my right leg, I tried different saddles never finding the right one. Then other problems started appearing, and I ended up at the Hospital emergency room. I was diagnosed with a herniated disc.... Ten months after surgery, I got back on my bike but could not ride. Then I tried the SelleProust ['The UN~Saddle®']. Gone were all the discomforts associated with riding, and I have found a new feeling of well-being with this bike seat"
