Deep Section Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Have any of you guys got any comments/experience/advice on the Specialized Toupe Saddle (without gel)
Da2lip Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Great Saddle. Been on mine for 2 years now.. not problems at all
Deep Section Posted October 9, 2008 Author Posted October 9, 2008 Been on a fizik Arione cx for the last six months .I can't take the pain any longer
Slave Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 What? You telling me there is more to a bike than just the frame, wheels and groupsets? You get gel saddles now as well. And here I was thinking that cycling was just for hard@sses.
Wyatt Earp Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Just make sure you get your boudjies measured with the assometer.

You can still ride with a campag bad groupset and Trek bad frame but a bad saddle can make you give up the sport. Oh, and a good pair of shorts aswell. Â
Deep Section Posted October 9, 2008 Author Posted October 9, 2008 I am dreading the assmeter. I can't say i am found of the thought of a shop assistant up, close and personal to my lower checks
ShortLegs Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Works just fine in your jocks, but if the shop assistant wants a closer look, beware
javadude Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 I just ordered a second one for my other bike. Getting the team one like Onetime has in his photo. Like sitting on a comfy couch. I do have some creaking from my current one though so hopefully its not a common thing.Â
Mackem Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 They hurt like hell!!! - my ass is a lot happier on a Fizik
Slave Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 When I did my first 94.7, I did not have padded pants. (Maybe that's why it felt like I was still perched on the bike two days later). The saddle used to make me bleed (as in pinch the urethra and put blood in the urine stuff). Since I got some padded pants, it goes much better. No more red wee.  I thought that was all just normal stuff. My Sun (back in my school days, still had a leather saddle. Biking was for tough ous back then. (hey I just figured where my brain damage came from. Too many hours on hard saddles damaged the brain housing and the brain. And I paid a therapist plenty to find this out in this forum in two days. That is good value for money). Now we are all turning into a bunch of softies. I take it Mampara, that there are some bad frames and bad group sets out there as well.  Â
Deep Section Posted October 9, 2008 Author Posted October 9, 2008 How long had you had the saddle before the squeaking started?
ShortLegs Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 They hurt like hell!!! - my ass is a lot happier on a Fizik  I'll second that, the 143 and my a$$ didn't get on and I persisted for 2 whole painful months.  The Fizik on my race and Regal on my commute bikes get along just fine with my derriere
javadude Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Was pretty soon after i got it. I weighed 104Kg's at the time and am sure it had something to do with it. I'm down to 90 now so hopefully the new one will be OK.Â
Bike Mob Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 I have 2. They rock, after the first 2-3 week ass adjustment period. I can sit on mine for 200km on a stationary bike!! that says something!! I tried the fizik but didnt like it.
