Abstract
A saddle construction for a bicycle includes a seat pillar having a saddle support portion and a saddle adjustably mounted on the saddle support portion. A first height adjustment device extends between the saddle and the saddle support portion and is located in a forward region of the saddle for adjusting the height of the forward region of the saddle relative to the saddle support portion. A second height adjustment device also extends between the saddle and the saddle support portion and is located in a rearward region of the saddle for adjusting the height of the rearward region of the saddle. The first and second height adjustment devices operate independently of each other to separately adjust the height at the forward and rearward regions of the saddle.
