ShortLegs Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 After two months and a good few thousand k's I finally resigned to the fact that my posterior was not going to be persuaded by a white Specialized Toupe Gel. This saddle came highly recommended and there were times while riding that it felt very comfortable but alas, the majority of the time it felt like I was sitting on a nerve. I didn't however do the fitting thing when I bought it and assumed that the 130 was the way to go, but I guess this might be the problem. Anyways, I put a Fizik Arione and the ISP Giant feels like a different bike on rough roads.
racman Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 So whats the "Beast" - the bike, saddle or your BUTT !!!
Jokerman Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Yip, I had the same problem........130 not made for men.......men needs to get at least the 145...but then your bike is going to look like a girls bike ........I also switched over to Fizik and love the extra bit at the back of the saddle as epcailly when I climb
Spaceboy Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Fizik Arione = The best, and, by the look of things the most popular saddle on the SA roads the last year... everyone's got one.
ShortLegs Posted November 9, 2007 Author Posted November 9, 2007 Beast = scabs where there shouldn't be any

MAESTRO's Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 There is more to saddles than just looks. Its whether it's practical, comfortable and best suited for your profile.
Spinnekop Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Me neither. I found the Arione to be the most uncomfortable perch I've ever used! Slangetjie....Jy moet nie dink oordat jou gat so groot is, jy moet hom DWARS draai nie.....Die punt moet vorentoe wys.......miskien is hy dan meer gemaklik!!!

OK, sal weer probeer. Maar nou ja.....
E1A104 Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 He even tried it point up....... and liked it that way. Only problem was that when he stood up to sprint, which isn't easy for etwerp in the first place considering the weight he has to lift, the back wheel kept lifting off the ground.
AndreZA Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Why don't people ever look at the Aliante? I found it more comfortable then Arione.

Now you ripping me off. As for sprinting, I do everything, SLOWLY because of my bulk figure.
Spinnekop Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 Why don't people ever look at the Aliante? I found it more comfortable then Arione. Aliante = MTB? Why would you want to put a XTR derailer on your roadbike?????
