Bare Bones
Well almost made up my mind in buying the Lepera Bare Bones but I have a question. I hear people talking about getting a bare bones up front model I dont want this as it brings you closer to the handle bars. Can someone tell me if this is something that you ask for? I want just the normal bare bones with gel.

I thought this seat would do the same but I have heard some people on here talk about it being a "up front" seant moving them closer to the bars. I am looking for a sleaker lower further back feel so I hope this is it.

The regular Barebones will definately move you back and down.
Be ready for about 500 miles of feeling like a rod is up your butt. After that, the seat breaks in and it seems to be quite comfy.

Get the barebones, It will move you back and you'll sit lower. I can go about 200 miles before it starts to kick my a$$ but I bought it for looks not comfort.

I can vouch for the standard bare bones moving you down and back and even gives some room to slide further back or even forward when you want. That's why I love the seat - I definitely needed some slide back room (I'm 6'4") and it brings you down "into the bike" more than other seats. There's such a dramatic difference now between it and my other seats, I hate having to put those on there for riding 2-up. I'm not sure if the gel is worth it. I've heard it can get pretty firm when the weather is cold. I can go about an hour on the BB before my **** needs some blood flow.
