Chose to ignore my friends, and put the new saddle on my Hybrid.
The concerns about rail size were zero in my seat post's case. It fit perfectly.

Ok, I got the new saddle but I have a small problem. Two friends tell me I should most definitly not put it on my Hybrid. They believe it's a sure-fire way of getting my bike stolen. Yes it does happen sometimes here, but rarely. I think they are being paranoid just quitely, but now they have me worried. I didn't even consider it a risk.
Anyway, they say I should swap my road bike saddle onto my Hybrid, and use the new one on my Road Bike.
I still want to use the new one on the Hybrid. Yes it's a billboard I know.
The new one
The one currently on my Road Bike.

That's because of the angle of the picture. In real life, it is perfectly aligned... Wait, nevermind... That's probably what you were saying.

Here in Japan it is 22000 yen ($273 US) but I see you guys can get it for around $229 US online. It's called a Fizik Antares Braided saddle.
I didn't actually have to pay for it this time round as I swapped a pair of 15-year-old race wheels I haven't used for a while. A friend wanted my wheels, I said I wanted a new saddle, and he went and got me this one. I'm very freekin happy.

Relocate the chair to the patio and bring the Kona inside. The recycled materials from your security apparatus can be made into another bicycle or maybe a VW.

So far so good. I've only used it for one day, but realize already I was living in denial with my Tioga. Not that weight makes much difference on the BadBoy, the only difference between the Tioga and this is 10g.

Without the carbon rails on sale for $120 at Performance.
There are no such concerns with the alloy rails.

That looks nice, although the other seats color goes better with the matte black pj of your bike. I'm new to biking, how comfy are these seats with minimal padding?

Man, I almost bought an Antares not a month ago, like new at a great price. Unfortunately, it was the Ki:um model, which means it was white, which means I'd have to get white bar tape and I just don't see that happening.

Anyway, I haven't grown tired of the stealth look for my bike yet, so it will be all black for me for a while longer
