the big question shaking the timboy universe to it's molten core
I need to make a decision about what brand of saddle I will be parking my arse on for the next year.
I've boiled the candidates down to two saddle types- your votes will decid which saddle I ride for the 2007/2008 season, on the road and on the track.
The two contenders
Fizik Arione
San Marco Rolls
I can't decide which one. They are both comfortable to me in different ways.
I like the long nose of the wingflex that allows for three riding positions. But I dislike the extra bit of chaffage cause by the wing flex, and my legs coming into contact with the seatpost bolts.
The rolls is less comfotrable for climbing, and takes a bit longer to wear in (but conversely longer to wear out), but there is no leg chaffage.
both cost about the same, both are pretty comfy.
Aesthetically, I think the Rolls kills the arione which to me looks like the command deck of the starship enterprise or a brickies trowel.
Please help me, it's tearing me appart!

Fizik Arione. The Rolls is for grumpy old farts who perineum's are shot to pieces from riding that design for years.
I know a lot of other guys who are using the seat and are really happy.

"Please help me, it's tearing me appart!"
i hope that's a metaphor, timboy.
Fizik Arione. No question.
(Rolls is/was soooo 1900's!)
Having acquired some ariones at a more reasonable price ($120) the winner is the Arione.
They don't build saddles like they used too is all I'll say- the things are not that durable for the price.
