An amusing review: Fizik Pave
While scanning eBay for saddle replacement candidates I came across a Fizik Pave. I quickly jumped out to Google to see a)Prices; and b)reviews. Got a kick out of this review (sorry if it's been posted before but a quick BF search yielded no results).

That is one of the dumbest reviews I have ever read - there's a difference between humor, and trying to be so funny it comes across as stupid and pathetic.

As Larry the Cable Guy would say, "I don't care what you say, that's funny"

i had one. it didnt hurt my ass but i felt something in the taint after long rides... there wasnt discomfort during the rides but after you step off the bike it felt as if too much pressure had been applied to that region for a long duration... now i stay true to Selle Flite

So what is "Klaatu Borada Nikto" anyway? I thought he was just rambling at that point.
As far as the review, I don't know, probably more funny than anything I could come up with.

By the way, I thought the review was funny. Some of you just take life way too seriously!

I'm all for humor.....unless I'm being serious, a lot of my posts tend to be laced in sarcasm. But...when one "overdoes" it, it tends not to be all that funny.

Humor is a lot like art -- some is mainstream and thus has universal appeal. But some is viewed as offbeat, wierd, or just plain offensive and has a more limited audience.

Humor? That review is spot-on! Well, I do have to agree in spirit that I was unimpressed with the pave' as well.

its an alright saddle. it puts some pressure in the wrong places, but a decent saddle nonetheless. i'll probably get an arionne sometime in the future, after i've got some good use out of it.

funny. I have a pave, and its ok. I haven't gotten sore riding it yet, but I've only riden it on short rides. I got a yellow bike and there just are not too many yellow saddles out there.

I think thats one of the best reviews outside of a magazine I have ever read. The person who wrote that is either an amazing writer or had ALOT of free time
