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

Spec. Alias Saddle Users

It's very discomforting when a saddle is discontinued. I'm trying to find the perfect replacement for my old Alias. I've tried a couple of Fiziks and they don't work for me. But the shop doesn't have demo Spec. saddles. I've ridden on a Toupe gel for a while, but it's not so comfy on long (5+ hours) rides.

So this question is aimed at those of you that liked the Alias but have found a really good substitute.

What saddle did you choose to replace it? Do you like it? And what about it do you like?

Thanks a bunch.

I've got the Alias, the Toupe and the Avatar. In my opinion, the Alias feels more like the Avatar than the Toupe.
