Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Should I try a new saddle

So I'm building up a second bike as a back up. Most of the parts are old parts I had or came off Craigslist or eBay. But I need to get a saddle.

I like the Fizik Arione I've been riding the last four years, but I've heard good things about the Specialized Toupe. Is it worth it to try the Toupe, which I might like better or worse. Or should I just get another Arione?

I'd stay with the Arione if you are comfortable with it.

Get a Toupe and let me know how it rides. I've got Fizik Ariones and Selle Italias on my rides and want to try a Toupe. You can be my official tester.
