New (oh-so-sexy) Saddle
My new F'iz:ik Arione Wing Flex Titanium saddle came in today so I went out and picked it up. Sexy.
My old saddle is a Selle Italia C2 that's a little worn, but still good. It wasn't quite cutting it for longer distances which is why I'm replacing it.
Saddles are one of those things you have to try before you buy. The Arione is a popular model, but everyone is different.

Looking forward to getting your opinion - mine is on its way too... can't wait for it to arrive... Mine is black with a red centre, to match my bike. (Hey... it was one of the ones they had on sale... so why not?
I like the fact that the top profile of the saddle is very flat whereas the old saddle had a bit of a curve to it that sometimes made me feel like sliding around on it. There is no anatomical groove running down the middle though (they may not work anyway), but it is spongy enough that I don't expect any err... problems. The sides are shaped quite nicely for free leg movement.
I still need to find time for a nice long ride, but it's been good for short ones so far. A noticeable improvement over my old saddle, regardless.
