I'm in the market for a new perch and am wondering what you all use?

Looking at the Specialized Toupe and Selle Italia SLR SuperFlow/Flite Flow.

I did look at the Charge/Fabric Scoop and also the knife both looked really good value.

I have the Selle Italia SLR Kit Carbonio Flow saddle. Absolutely love it. So comfortable.

The superflow looks interesting, a huge cutout!

The Carbonio is also on the list but i've yet to find one to look at in the flesh.

Want to stick to by black/red scheme of my N2A.

My bike came with a relatively flat and thin (130) san marco saddle. I'm ok with flat although i do wonder if a slight curve would nestle me into position better. One thing I am considering is getting a 143mm saddle as I think my sit bones could use a slightly wider perch.

The Antares was also one I looked at, I'm a chameleon fit according to the fizik site.

Anyone tried a prologo nago?

I've been to the specialised concept store near to where I work, I measured up as a 143.

Got a great deal on a 2015 Fizik Kurve Chameleon, will let you know how it rides.

Had a decent ride on the new saddle, very very comfortable. The flex works incredibly well. My only criticism is it's a bit slippery but I was wiggling around a bit and have since adjusted the saddle position slightly. Overall i'd give this a 9/10.

Also noticed the spelling mistake (Chamaleon) and emailed Fizik through their site and got this when I clicked send..

I think it'll be a lost cause.

200 mile update. Saddle is simply brilliant, perfect for my bones, I don't notice it. No ache and the slipperiness I first noticed is simply wiggle comfort now. I've not tried many saddles but this one works for me, sticking and am going to try the hard nose attachement as soft really is soft.
