Fit changes through time to some extent. I rode a brooks with real chamois from 1971 to about 1993 when I changed from a 1974 bike to a 1993 bike. That didn't last, and the Brooks went back on. In the late 90s I used a range of synthetics. Started training and lost weight, picked up the Alias 143. Very comfortable. A little odd feeling. Changed back and forth with a Fizik Pave for a long time. Decided the Pave was better in perfect adjustment, but that the Alias was more forgiving. Had my dog wack my nuts. Pave was out! I lost more weight, and the Alias started getting hard!

So I've ended up extremely happy with a San Marco Arami 235 SIZE system saddle. Supposed to match my rear and my weight. It does. Has the balls-happy cutout, which I didn't used to need but do now!

Conditions change and I seem to have required saddle changes to keep up. I really did enjoy that Pave until it stopped working for me!
