Saddle Thread

I was very happy with my Spesh Romin. So much so that I bought another one. Then last year I got a saddle sore. It requires very careful management. Swapped to a Fabric Scoop to see what it was like but not wholly convinced. I like the shape of the Romin. I feel it fits my arse well but certainly don't want the sore back. I fancy trying an antares or an arione. Fizik has me as a snake but I feel the Arione might be a bit narrow for my ass.

Having been through the full Fizik range I'm now a convert to Selle Italia flite gel flows. I have one on the Cervelo and I'm about to put one in the Canyon. Lovely saddles.

Charge Spoon here, works fine on the mountain bike.

Fizik Arione for quite some time. I've now switched to a Fizik Antares Versus. It's awesome.

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.
